Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. Mentioned glucose levels are too high. In such case usually we adviseInsulin treatment for at least first 3 months along with oral antidiabetics then after achieving strict glucose control Insulin can be reduced or discontinued. That is always a better line of treatment. The reason is with such high glucose levels, beta cells are very severely affected. Hence early glucose control is advisable. Thanks.
