I am a Diabetes patient. I am injecting "HUMINSULIN 30/70".Whether i have to continue life long? I came to know 2 months back that i have high sugar nearly 370mg.in blood and ++++ in urine and acetone positive and admitted in hospital for 3 days and take treatment and ok now. My Doctor advised me to continue taking Insulin 30/70 through out my life. Most people are advising me that Insulin will affect the nerves in future and taking pills is enough. Now it is normal in urine and sugar and fluctuates now and then and not so serious.But my Doc strictly recommending me to take 20ml.insulin in the morning and 10ml. in the night and no pills. I am confused in this aspect whether i have to continue lifelong or not. Still i never failed to take injection everyday in the morn and night. Kindly guide me whether taking insulin continuously will spoil my life.

Summarized question: Will insulin injections for diabetes have more negative effects than pills?
