[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 1900969, member: 150927"] [FONT=Arial]Yes, I don't understand [USER=479176]@Stephen Lewis[/USER], why your medical professionals did not test your own insulin production before putting you on insulin. It seems crazy to me! Or at the very least - not understanding the basics of how T2D works, and the different kinds of T2D. I have 'SIRD' - severe insulin resistance diabetes - for example - which means my body creates too much insulin itself after decades of glucose toxicity and dysfunction and wrong signalling. If your pancreas is indeed no longer producing enough insulin itself, then you have 'SIDD' - severe insulin deficiency diabetes. (Types care of the Swedes.) Most type two folks have MOD and MARD - obesity related and age related diabetes. If you do in fact have a MOD and MARD and not SIDD your health care professionals have been doing you a disservice, as the treatments are very different. MOD and MARD respond exceedingly well to lower carbing, and are the folks in here you see have their diabetes resolved/in remission in as little as three months of treating with diet. You absolutely need to find out yourself then, imho, what type you have, so you can work out your treatment regime. And yes, that means going back to your doctor and telling them how important it is that you know how your body is doing on its own, with tests.

I am very sorry that such a now common disease/dysfunction is being badly diagnosed, when the correct diagnosis is so important to what the treatment should be, and therefore our gaining better health.[/FONT] [/QUOTE]
