1. UNLESS ‘SICK’, AVOID INSULIN IF NOT FOLLOWING NCS DIET 2. KEEP NON-INSULIN TREATMENTS AS START BASAL- KEEP ON INCRETIN/SGLT-2 INHIBITOR (OTHERS) WHEN ADD INSULIN IF DO SO ONLY ~10% NEED BOLUS. IF ON INSULIN- AS START NCS DIET, DECREASE 25% IF WAS HAVING HYPOGLYCEMIA DECREASE 25% ADD INCRETIN, GLP-1 PREFERRED – DEC. INSULIN AS DO SO ADD SGLT-2 INHIBITOR- DECREASE INSULINS 25% ADD PIOGLITAZONE, METFORMIN, IF POSSIBLE MAY BE ABLE TO STOP INSULIN, LOSE WEIGHT THUS NEW PATIENTS WHO COME TO ME ON INSULIN <40 UNITS/D, NOT ON DIET, HYPOGLYEMIA, EPISODES, I STOP INSULIN START DIET GLP-1 RA AND SGLT-2 INHIBITOR Weight Reduction Issues- Insulin
