Is there a certain age when a person can stop taking Huminsulin 30/70 insulin and switch to using only oral diabetes tablets like Glimy M2?
There is no specific age at which a person can safely stop insulin, like Huminsulin 30/70 (premixed human insulin), and switch to oral tablets like Glimy M2 (glimepiride/metformin). As we age, our bodies may naturally produce less insulin, meaning insulin therapy often remains the safest way to keep your blood sugar in a healthy range and protect your organs. Any decision to change your diabetes treatment must be based on your recent blood sugar trends, overall health, and a close discussion with your doctor. Please consult your physician before making any changes to your medication.
