[QUOTE="Stephen Lewis, post: 2037484, member: 479176"] Last year I was put on insulin for the first time and as the dose was increased over 4 to 5 months my weight went up by 15+lbs. and my bg levels also increased for several days. When I asked my endocrinologist whether the insulin injection immediately caused my pancreas to motivate my liver to produce more glucose or whether the pancreas produced less insulin because of the higher insulin levels his response was, "none of these er no the first er no the second er the first."! I sounds like that part of your pancreas that pushes the liver is still working. As you say the only answer is a low carb diet. If I had known this 13 years ago I would have saved hundreds of dollars a year in drugs. [/QUOTE]
