[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2403829, member: 365308"] Walking after a meal will help to use up your glucose stores in the muscles. It will stop raining eventually and even if it doesn't I think its a good way to get back into exercise. Ditto swimming or cycling. The other factors that make an obvious difference beyond insulin resistance, are stress, poor sleep and any infection? Do you have your triglycerides/hdl levels to indicate insulin resistance (should be on a standard blood test result)? As you have found out, taking insulin when insulin resistant can mean increasing the insulin resistance and hence needing more and more insulin. It is not ideal and is associated with increased risk of complications. Anything that you can do to shift the fat around your liver and pancreas will help restore your insulin's sensitivity and perhaps help your insulin making cells work better. The first tool is eating real food but you seem to be doing that as well as eating low carb. So then you have keto (20g and under) or intermittent fasting, one meal a day or the 800kcal diet for 8-12 weeks (see Michael Mosley Blood Sugar Diet) all of which are drastic but would get to the root cause but its a matter of what you can live with too.
