[QUOTE="skipworth, post: 906573, member: 32399"] Not sure if this helps, but I found that trying the Newcastle diet for 8 weeks appeared to improve my insulin sensitivity as well as helping me lose 26lbs. My carb ratio was 3 carbs to I unit of insulin and it has now moved to 6 carbs to 1 unit. I am was on 40 units of Levermir and between 15 and 38 units of novarapid before meals dependant on the food. I now take 15 levermir and between 7 anmd 14 novarapid. I have found that the key is carb reduction coupled with weight loss. My BMi has moved from 29.8 to 25.6. Others not on insulin have found the Newcastle diet has helped them significantly, but it does require a change in dietary lifestyle to maintain it, being on insulin helps maintain some normality but insulin can be its own worst enemy as ovewr time the more you take the more you then may need to take to maintain the same levels.
