I am 27 years old, and several months ago, I was diagnosed with either type 2 diabetes or Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young. I am currently taking no medications and have good control (70-90 mg/dl [3.9-5 mmol/L] fasting and 140-160 mg/dl [7.8-8.9 mmol/L] post meal), but recently the my blood sugars have been higher (90-100 mg/dl [5-5.6 mmol/L] fasting and 140-200 mg/dl [7.8-11.1 mmol/L] post meal. If I have to use something to counter a continuing rise in blood sugars, I would prefer to inject insulin since the drugs that I have taken made me feel terrible. Is this reasonable?
