Message: <blockquote data-quote="Member496333" data-source="post: 2489314">[USER=41885]@lucylocket61[/USER] Adding more insulin to someone who is already overproducing will only increase insulin resistance. It may appear to be working by lowering blood glucose but sooner or later the patient will run out of road. Long term outcomes are not improved. They key point here is that endogenous production must first be measured, but it rarely is. If the patient is underproducing then insulin therapy has a valuable role. Otherwise it’s just kicking the can down the road.</blockquote>
