[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1705099, member: 94045"] If your dad has insulin resistance he needs more insulin to cope with the glucose levels. In Type 2s the more circulating insulin there is, the worse the IR becomes. The worse the IR becomes, the more insulin he will need. High excess circulating insulin will cause weight gain in most people. This is well known, although I do not know if injected insulin has the same effect. Certainly natural insulin does, it is a fat carrying hormone. It tells the body to store fat instead of burning it for energy. The trick is to eat foods that require less insulin. Obviously carbs require a lot, certain low fat dairy products, and fruit. [/QUOTE]
