I take Metformin (1000 mg 2x/day) and Prandin (4 mg before meals) for my T2. I am also highly insulin resistant. Is the Prandin just forcing my pancreas to work harder and harder, possibly leading to beta cell burnout? My Dr. has mentioned lately putting me on insulin for a while. He didn't say it was to give my pancreas a rest, but would going on insulin do that? Might it allow my pancreas time to "regenerate" itself somewhat? Has anyone had any experience with this, or with Prandin in general? I find myself having to take 6 mg instead of the prescribed 4 mg to get my bgl down to the 120-140 mg/dl range.
