Q: Why would my taking Insulin injections be best for my T2 diabetes?

I am 41 years old & was diagnosed with MS in 12/99.  I started Copaxone to prevent more relapses & new symptoms from popping up.  I moved down here, FL, in 1/04.  I miss NYC very much!  My son lives with his daddy in NYC.  He divorced me 2 years after I was given my diagnosis of MS.  So I'm very used to taking shots already.  I don't think I want another reason to keep taking shots.

Monica-

 

Hello! I am sorry for everything you have been through. There was a study done and the information was documentended in a share post my Gretchen called "Insulin First line treatment".  It states that using insulin shortly after diagnoses could extend remission and help preserve your beta cells.
