How To Treat Stroke?
my friend recently diagnosed with stroke and now suddenly she is diabetic too. She is taking regular insulin and Lantus. Is there anyway she can take oral medication instead of injections? She is having a hard time giving self injection. Thank you. Song.

Insulin is definitely best. I can understand the pain of injection, but one has to continue with it. Get HBA1C and lipid profile done every 3 to 6 months, to titrate your insulin for better diabetes control
