A member asked:
Doctor is the insulin best treatment to control sugar?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No "best" treatment: There is no "best". What you need is diet, exercise, weight loss, education, monitoring, good medical advice, complication prevention, control of BP and lipids, compliance -- and whatever medication your doctor recommends. Your rx needs can change over time. Insulin is just one of many effective therapies.
