am aged 45. Diabetes and BP found at the age of 35. Diabetes treatment started with tablets. Initially in the first year, Sugar levels are in good control. After that i started neglecting. Lot of side effects occured. 1. Sinus infection, Fever, 2. increase of neck and back pains 3. Fatigue, Heavy weakness etc. 4. ED. Immediately i had taken precautions. Suar levels controlled. But side effects remained. After 9 years my doctor suggested me 1. Human Mixtard 30/70, 25 U in the Morning 12 U in the night, 2. Metformin 500 mg 3 times a day. Now sugar levels are in good control since 1 year. It apears i am like non-diabetic. Here I got a doubt, my friends and family memebrs forcing me to go for oral medication and start physical exercised, morning walking etc., instead of taking insulin. Other wise it will be more difficult after the age of 60. If Insuline is taken after the age of 60 then no problem other wise the dosage has to be increased and increased. Some people telling the insuline wont work after 20 years. What to do. The dosage taking by me at present is too high ?? (1. Mixtared 25 U in Morking - 12 U in Night 2. Metformin 500 mg 3 times a day. What to do please advise.
