[Diabetes-talk] Spike.

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

Yeah, I think some studies are showing that the sooner type 2's are
placed on insulin, the better management they experience. I don't know
how many doctors are considering this, and most type 2's I know on
insulin were put on it only after the oral meds were not working as
well. Is this something a patient can request even if their doctor isn't
prescribing it? I'm very unfamiliar with type 2 other than type 2's have
some level of functioning of the pancreas.

What are you eating?  Anything different?  Many times cold cereals can
be a 
horrible culprit: pasta, breads, even some barbecue sauces, Are you on
oral 
meds? or just insulin?  From my experience, I find my control,
personally, 
is much better with Insulin.  I use Rapid-acting 15-20 minutes before
meals, 
(on sliding scale) then I use Lantus at night.  I myself have felt much,

much better taking insulin.  If I had it to do all over again, I'd've
gone 
straight to insulin in the first place.
