slipperyelm -He had had type 2 for 8 years. His A1Cs were high - I don't know about his lipids. Blood pressure was good. His doctor had told him that if he continued to eat without regard to his BG levels, it would be best if he went on insulin (bolus). He was resisting this.

Everyone else - thanks so much for your replies.
