Hello, thanks for the query. With a hba1c% of 8 - 9 %, insulin is required to bring a rapid control of blood glucose. In many cases when good glucose control is achieved, then insulin is discontinued and glucose is then controlled only on oral drugs. Therefore, if you have been able to bring down both fasting and after food glucose levels with in specified range then it is possible to discontinue insulin and take only oral hypoglycemics. For that yu will have to give following details: fbg, pp glucose levels, hba1c%, dietary pattern, extent of daily exercise, lipid profile and bp reading. Plus it is also necessary for you to eves checked for ruling out any retinal involvement. Please come back with all the above details in a thanks. Private conversation (paid consultation. In this communication we are supposed to give only general guidelines.

During initial period of diagnosis, insulin helps to bring down the sugar rapidly and to reduce your problems fast. Later the insulin can be switched to oral tablets. Now the usage of tablets will be less if you can stick to your diet and exercise.
