[QUOTE="Pneu, post: 214011, member: 28827"] to an extent I think you are correct donnelly... however insulin as a hormone doesn't just deal with control of blood glucose it also deals with for instance telling our bodies to put down fat... it can therefore be a bit of a viscous cycle if you are having to inject large doses of insulin that then cause you to increase in weight which then increases your resistance etc... I am not sure what constitutes are 'large' dose? I certainly wasn't happy injecting 200+ units a day... for a start its a pain having to do multiple injections at the same time when the pen only goes to 60 units! certainly there can be no harm in trying other insulins or methods to reduce your insulin intake.
