25% of Type 2's are on insulin.

But there are some reasons,
Progressive loss of Beta cells (yes, type 2's also lose pancreatic function)

failure to achieve goal with diet and excercise,
pregnancy,

contraindications to oral meds (renal impairment which many diabetics have, liver impairment)

Glucose toxicity (fasting >250, weight loss, Nausea, vomiting, fatigue)

Look for that in your reports that you transcribe.

And…a lazy doc.

Mom is off insulin injections and I understand that could be a risk. However, I recall that mom didn't tell her she was completely off the injections (which she is), so that might be a valid argument for the other side.</p> <p>Good catch.</p> From what I've heard, you can't go hypo on metformin/glocophage.

I get they're beneficial to some. So are heart bypass operations. A paleo diet should prevent need of both, for MOST.</p> I'm skeptical of the benefits of statins for MOST people.
