Normally we put patients on Insulin for a specific purpose and limited duration. And patients come back to their original control on oral anti-diabetic.
In her case we don't know why she is not responding to oral anti-diabetic.
Once controlled on Insulin, one attempt can be made to bring her back to oral anti-diabetic. If that fails then she will be permanently on Insulin.
