When do you consider that the pills have failed?

Good morning.I have been diagnosed with diagnostic diabetes and treating it with metformin (2 daily pills of 1000/50) and at first it was relatively easy to maintain good fasting levels between 110 and 130 (with some days of moderate climbs), butFor two or three months there is no way to get out of 140, no matter how much I take care of the diet and that I have an hour almost every day of walking at a high pace.

I have an appointment with the endocrine in a month, but the truth is that I am restless.For your experiences, are continued values ​​of between 135 and 155 every day on an empty stomach?Will you mean that the pills are not enough to me and they will go to the injected insulin?And if that were so, is that jump dramatic?

Thanks and cordial greetings.

Hi @Fuense:
Those values ​​that indicate (fasting to 135-155 mg/dl) begin to worry a little and that is why, according to your endocrine criteria, they will pass you to insulin (first once a day in addition to the pills as until now).
Do not worry about the drama of change, because you will have become accustomed before a week.
