[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1764093, member: 94045"] Insulin isn't bad for T2s that need it to keep control and prevent diabetic complications, or worse. For these people it is essential. It is bad if you take too much and go hypo. It is also not good if you have severe insulin resistance because you need more and more insulin to cope with the carbs, and too much circulating insulin can (and does) cause weight gain, and makes insulin resistance worse - a vicious circle. Too much insulin is also being blamed for being a risk factor in heart problems. However, if you carb count and make sure you are having enough but not too much or too little, it isn't bad. Without insulin, you would need to carb count in as much as you would need to keep carbs right down to avoid spikes, just as we non-insulin users have to.. I think you need to discuss all this with a professional, preferably a consultant. [/QUOTE]
