During treatment, my blood sugar became *very* problematic, and I ended up adding Lantus insulin on top of the oral meds. I no longer require insulin; it tends to promote
weight gain in those that are predisposed to that, from what I understand.
I think metformin actually promotes weight loss; it seems to be the drug of choice initially for DM II; and it’s very affordable on top of everything else. I’d take a good look at it; like I say; it’s been around for a while now.
