I did a little research tonight and I think I found the answer. I found a article that says "that it is common practice to try pills before insulin but you may start on insulin based on these factors.
How long you have had diabetes
How high your blood glucose level is
What other meds you take
Your overall health
Because diabetes pills seem to help your body use insulin better, some people take them along with insulin."
So I guess thats it. I was on meds for depression when I was rx. Doctor started me right on Glipized 5mg twice a day. I have been on them for over a year and my diabetes is totally in check.
