[QUOTE="Annb, post: 1816413, member: 25851"] I've been o insulin (basal and bolus) for many years now but the only reason I was put onto it was that I had to go in to hospital for a few days for minor investigative surgery (found bowel cancer). Because of the necessity to fast I was taken off the Metformin I was on and put onto a glucose/insulin pump. It was only for the duration of the hospital stay, I was told, but I was never to come off it again. I don't know why but the health specialists here are quite a few years behind the times - still disapproving of low carbing and not being very helpful about diet or medication so I'm very much on my own with this. but then I've never found them very helpful on any health problem for either myself or my late husband - or my 2 sons and daughter-in-law for that matter. Still - they did find the bowel cancer so I have to give them that one. I still don't know why I had to go onto insulin but I didn't know then what alternatives there might have been. Unless it really is necessary, don't wish it on yourself. [/QUOTE]
