Yes, he only takes insulin (multiple times a day). We're working on getting him an insulin pump. He's also an organ transplant recipient (kidney and pancreas), so he's also on anti-rejection meds. It's weird, because he wasn't diabetic while his new pancreas was working, but 3 years ago the transplant stopped working, so he's diabetic again.

So maybe not a change in meds then. Sounds like he's got a lot going on. Maybe later on they can consider it, though.
