A member asked:
I have type 2 diabetes, my sugars are 180 today, at what point would i need to consider insulin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many possibilities: There are many steps to be considered before insulin. Can you lose weight and improve exercise? Are you only on metformin? What is your a1c? If you are 28, you should be trying to get your a1c less than 7.5. Diet, weight loss, exercise, metformin, other oral agents, treating other conditions. If that does not work, then a consideration of insulin.
