Diabetes care: 47 year old woman with Type 2 DM considering restarting therapy. You are smart to want to continue therapy. You should visit your physician and a diabetes educator. You need a set of labs, including a Hemoglobin A1C to see what your glucose average has been over the past 120 days. You need to learn to check your blood sugar and to let your physician determine the best medication. Good luck.
