Some people believe, and rightfully so that their beta cells have been burned out. Some believe it can happen from certain diabetic medications. They won't take those medications, yet do they "really" even know where they stand with there C-peptide test results. I don't see how anyone can know there beta cells aren't working anymore without the test.
One of my questions is..if a persons beta cells are at 3.0, considered "good" should the Dr. put them on Isulins, or continue with the orals.
I know several type 2's that the Dr.s have switched off the orals, and put them on Humalog and Lantus. Their HA1C are lowered it appears..but aren't they putting more hormones into their bodies and thereby maybe making them eat more??
Thanks for comments in advance!
