#2 One doc suggested that I might try one of the oral meds along with my insulin injections Excuse me??? If I am TI and no longer producing insulin what good would that do?
Horror stories indeed, and, unfortunately, not rare these days. But this one item, depending on the circumstances, might be reasonable. If the patient is insulin dependent and has also developed insulin resistance, then metformin is sometimes prescribed as it helps increase sensitivity to insulin, whether it's natural or injected.
