| Yes, and no. Treatment doesn't matter a ton as long as control is good. But there are a few exceptions.
If you have type 1 and are treated with oral meds alone, then your honeymoon will likely be shortened as a result of the added stress on beta cells.
If you are type 1 and treated with oral meds, you may have extra side effects from a medication you don't need.
If you are type 2 and not given oral meds with whatever insulin you take, the effect may be added resistance and I read somewhere that it can actually increase your risk of heart disase.
But I think these exceptions apply mostly in clear cut cases. In the grey areas glucose control is what matters most. |
