[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2167530, member: 480869"] I’m assuming you had tests to establish if you are extremely insulin resistant or have lower than normal levels of endogenous insulin? Obviously if it’s the former you’ll need more than normal to control bloods sugars and may not currently make that extra required to overcome the IR hence the current need for insulin. Perhaps as you continue along your fabulous weight loss, metformin and low carb journey your IR will reduce, despite the high insulin levels, and your own production will come closer to matching the levels required allowing you to ultimately use less or maybe even no exogenous insulin. Fingers crossed for you. Again obviously if you simply no longer produce much at all, then insulin is the only way to go and it will indeed be your saviour. It’s amazing stuff used in the right cases. [/QUOTE]
