[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2255730, member: 345386"] [USER=365308]@NicoleC1971[/USER] , I don't think it is appropriate to make a blanket statement that any treatment is "bad", as you seem to have done in your post. Although in many T2s, who produce enough insulin, and have insulin resistance, the use of further injected insulin or sulphonyuras could be considered unhelpful, it's not a treatment that's bad for all. There are a number of T2s for whom insulin or such is the most appropriate course of action, if, say, their natural insulin production has dwindles a bit, or if they have other issues in play, resulting in stratospheric blood glucose issues. I agree with you that for those with T2, and particularly where insulin resistance is in play that diet is a key critical element of treatment and ongoing best outcomes, but unfortunately that won't be enough for some. For myself, I was very fortunate to be able to reduce my own insulin resistance significantly by utilising a modified diet, and have never had to resort to medications to help, so I have no personal skin in this game.
