Can oral medication and the insulin be used together?
Absolutely. As the beta cell number in your body declines, you may need a little help from externally injected insulin, but you still might need oral medicines to help the pancreas make a little more insulin on its own, in a more natural pattern. In addition, decreasing insulin secretory capacity does not mean an end to insulin resistance, so it is necessary for you to keep taking pills that reduce insulin resistance.
