My husband was recently put on Lantus, the extended release insulin. He was having side effects with the Avandia, and even though the blood sugar numbers where still pretty good, his doctor recommended the Lantus, because my husband is young (late 30's), and the doctor wants his numbers in the fantastic, not just good range. My impression that part of the change in view on insulin, is the development of the extended release insulin.
It often takes more than a couple months to get blood surgar under control, so that seems a little quick to judgement for anyone to use it as a guideline. Are you sure it wasn't two years?
