Here is the deal, Pam.
Taking Prandin and Starlix are drugs that make your beta cells work overtime and in no time, they will burn out what is left of your beta cells ability to produce insulin.
It would be better to go on insulin, than those two. Why do I say this? Because, if a cure ever comes, you will need to have some working beta cells! Type 1s have working beta cells, but the immune system constanly kill them, and it may be possible to cure people with no beta cells, but the current scientists feel you would need anti rejection drugs and I don't believe that is a good thing!
This is my take on this, Itsme Wayne
ps. Reports are all over the net, state that type 2s should be put on insulin much sooner than is normally done now!
