It depends on the cause of his sugar rise. If your doctor feels that it is a temporary issue, then he may stop it after a few days. Eg. In case of infections, or if he has been irregular with medicines or diet, or its very high just at the time of diagnosis. However, sometimes in spite of taking all medicines regularly and following all precautions, the sugar level rises gradually when the duration of diabetes has been long. In such cases, insulin needs to be started and is permanent, although with dosage adjustments.
