[QUOTE="RussG, post: 208817, member: 30691"] Hi Jas, As with all these things, there is the usual caveat that we can't advise on the best medication etc., and there are circumstances where people do go straight from metformin to insulin (I'm one of them!) If you haven't already, I wonder if you might be able to have the conversation again with your nurse, saying that you would accept insulin if it is really necessary, but you are taking this really seriously and want to try other things first and can he/she help? I've heard plenty of stories like this where both sides think the other is thinking something else and sometimes you need to restart the conversation. We all have to try to develop a good working relationship with our medical team, whatever we think of them. If people are using insulin as a threat, then I don't think that's treating someone as an adult really. Anyway, hope you get some more progress and keep us informed. [/QUOTE]
