Usually in newly detected diabetes I continue insulin injections minimum for three months till Hba1c is corrected to below 7% Then insulin injections are slowly discontinued and started ion oral hypoglycemic agents. This way minimum drugs are required to control blood sugars and in 3 months patient learn proper lifestyle modification with diet and exercise. In over weight patients I encourage weight reduction this again ensures minimum drugs for diabetes control.
