[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What kind of fasting levels require you to go on insulin? Is it like one number of 95 and you're toast, or is hovering in the mid-90s a problem?[/quote]

You should be speaking to someone about this. It should be below 94, ideally low 90s or lower. If you can’t get it under control they’ll do insulin.[/quote]

My doctor said they want no more than 20% out of range. For me I was testing four times a day so I had like 5 times I could be over before they would suggest insulin.

My first week was great, second week not great so they gave me one more week and then I was fine. At one point I had a few high days (no more than 10 over) but they said it was still so close to the target that insulin would make my numbers too low.

I would say though if you fasting numbers are consistently high then they might do insulin just for then. I was told it’s the hardest number to control. I had no problem but a friend said hers was solved literally with a cheese stick before bed. [/quote]
