[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2141961, member: 365308"] I'd agree with Jim about the problem of insulin causing further insulin resistance. Insulin is a necessary drug for type 1s and works for type 2s also in the sense that it controls your blood sugar but taking insulin isn#t tackling the root cause and as Jim points out, can make that root cause worse as well as worsen the potential complications. To find out more, without needing to change anything before you fully understand your options, Jason Fung and others explain this well on Diet Doctor (don't be put off by the name as it is simply a low carb website): [URL]https://www.dietdoctor.com/member/courses/fung-diabetes#2[/URL] Btw the average Western diet is reputedly at about 240g carbs so you are already doing well on keeping those in check and please don't make any sudden changes downwards otherwise you'll risk hypos!
