[QUOTE="Freema, post: 2073224, member: 329519"] usually, a person that has just become diabetic type 2 can actually live without adding insulin if he/she does follow a very low carb eating style, most can get back to normal levels of blood glucose, in this forum you can also learn how... metformin helps a bit, in my case, it lowered my blood glucose in general with around 1 mmol, which was actually enough when I was strict with my food choices.. you could have had type 1 that´s why they gave you insulin initially.. some type 2 diabetics do end up needing to have insulin on a daily basis along with the progression of their diabetes, where their pancreas in many cases end up producing too little insulin due to the high levels of blood glucose maybe damaging the pancreas but I guess in your case you just need to learn to cope and chose the right kind of foods. most type 2 actually have very raised levels of insulin initially, but the body doesn´t react enough to it and it doesn´t seem to let the too high levels of blood glucose into one's cells, the system of storing blood glucose is a bit out of whack it seems.. a lot of people do gain a lot of weight from the very raised level of insulin too. till now there has not been a lasting solution to cure insulin resistance which is the main problem in type 2 diabetes... the problem is not a lack of insulin initially. when having too high insulin and blood glucose all the time some damage will take place in the body, which is why many end up with a lot of adding diseases , but you can learn to control your blood glucose levels by avoiding carbs...
