PMNL Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 If he is thai, why not get the treatment from government hospital free of charge. Then you only need to buy glucometer and test strip for him. All the insulin,pen/needles even alcohol can be given at free of charge at his registered hospital. By the way, Is it DM type 2 ot Type 2?? If it was type 1 which is insulin deficiency then he definitely needs Insulin. If it was type two and his renal function/Kidney function is normal then it is medication to reduce insulin resistance. There must be a reason why the doctor put him on Insulin injection, please make sure what it was. If it was the kidney failure, then it is understabable for the choice of insulin injection and the 3 years that the doctor mentioned probably meant until your partner's brother reached the stage of end stage renal failure. Not to second the doctor diagnosis and treatment, I just think that this is a serious condition and it should be understood by the patient and his family. Good Luck.
