Your diabetologist may change your insulin dosage or move you to a basal-bolus insulin regimen with appropriate meal planning if your HbA1c is 8, which indicates that control is not optimum. When insulin is optimized, some oral medications, such as Gemer (sulfonylurea), may be reduced or eliminated, and control can be improved by implementing lifestyle modifications or, if more inexpensive, newer medications.
