[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 2144661, member: 21149"] Many GPs, if you believe the posts on these forums over the years, do prescribe insulin for T2s. I have often thought that where the patient has a high BMI and therefore probably insulin resistance that treatment with insulin may not be the best approach? It may be adding insulin to an already insulin-overloaded system. That's why I believe the c-peptide test is under-used. So I wonder whether some GPs understand T2's connection with insulin resistance and hence high insulin levels? Note that some slim T2s are not T2 but mis-diagnosed LADA (like myself) and hence insulin will be needed. [/QUOTE]
