Since I was only 28 she thought I could change my lifestyle and lower it with just metformin. As far as hypo, I've never had a reading below 88 and I fasted for 4 days, but I am a mailman and having a low blood sugar in the heat could be fatal, so I keep some protein bars at work just in case.
Also, I think taking insulin is a major setback, I never want to. Taking insulin increase insulin resistance. Taking more insulin to treat type 2 diabetes, a disease of too much insulin resistance, is treating the symptom and not the cause.
