[QUOTE="ickihun, post: 1156885, member: 196960"] I totally agree. Gliclazide has shown to damage beta cells in the pancreas. It is foretold that if a cure one day people with cells still producing insulin from pancreas holds the key. Protect your beta cells if you can. If that means taking insulin to prevent that then so be it. Myself I don't think going on insulin shows degenerative but preventative. Of course it is a more expensive treatment but until a true cure I'm happy to take my insulin. Recently I reduced my insulin and rode higher bgs (middle of the road) hoping to lose weigh on less insulin. Nope. That never happened, in fact I added weight. Hence back on more insulin but losing weight again. I too need a GAD and C-peptide test. On my next dn visit I will enquire whether have had one done before putting me on insulin. My notes say high levels of insulin resistance. Shouldn't a GAD and C-peptide be procedure on starting someone on insulin? Afterall too much insulin can kill. [/QUOTE]
