[QUOTE="ButtterflyLady, post: 954840, member: 43498"] Yes, very true. Using insulin in the way the ADA or NHS does it for T2s can be disastrous. The doses are far too high, leading to weight gain and the health effects that come from that. And I imagine that many of the people who use it in this way are already obese and may have hypertension and high LDL and triglycerides. It's interesting that the recently updated NICE guidelines for T1 recommend everyone is on basal/bolus MDI insulin. I hope the same follows through next time the T2 guidelines are updated. It won't fix the wider problem but it might improve things for those people who use it wisely. When I think of T2s like those in the studies above, I think of those husbands and partners that are referred to on the forums as being obese, sedentary, and eating whatever they like and just injecting the insulin to cover it. Which is about the worst way to do it. [/QUOTE]
