A member asked:
When do diabetics need insulin injections?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Uncontrolled despite: Currently we don't have the ability to cure diabetes short of a pancreas transplant. But, aggressive treatment/management plan such as wt loss (gastric bypass=very effective) to ideal wt can revert diabetes for years. When healthy lifestyles along with pills are not adequately controlling your sugar, then injectables/insulins are needed. Regular follow-up with doc is very important. Good luck.
