As A Type 1 Diabetic Can You Only Take Lantus Insulin?
NP told me I did not need Humalog for eating times. She said all I need is Lantus. Is this true? My sugar was in the 300-400 until a doctor said , yes I need to take Humalog at times when I eat.
Hi, Yes you would need insulin for mealtimes. I'm a Type 1 also and was immediately put on mealtime insulin. I was mistakenly diagnosed as Type 2 for a year, I was on Lantus and Metformin. The day I was diagnosed as Type 1 I was taken off the Metformin and put on the Humalog and kept the Lantus. Do you have a Cgm ?
Has Anyone Had Type 2 For More Then 20 Years And Been Able To Just Take Diabetes Meds For Bs Control Without Also Having To Take Insulin?
Without Just One Or Two Of My Diabetes Meds My Numbers Would Surely Be In The 200s. Does This In Fact Actually Make Me Type 1 Instead Of 2?
Why Do So Many Type 2's See Insulin As A Boogey-Man To Be Avoided At All Cost?
