[QUOTE="Fenn, post: 2072592, member: 474433"] Yes! For me anyway, its been very helpful, my control is very good or at least very good compared to very bad before the insulin, nothing was working for me so I am where I am and happy to be. Is it bad for a T2 to take insulin? Maybe, is it bad for my bg to be silly high all the time? Definately! So I take it and hope for the best. LCHF is terrific if you can get control that way, I would highly recommend it, worked for me for a lot of years, I did however have to eat extremely low carb and found that difficult long term, so now I eat low carb mostly I do feel like a failure, especially reading this forum lol, but heyho, my bloods are very good, I am lucky I only need 20 units basal a day and novo to suit what I eat, generally between 6 -12 units, the control it gives me is incredible, its like choosing what number I want to be, hypos suck so I work quite hard to avoid them. Whatever you end up doing, best of luck EDit... i self fund freestyle libre, this has been a godsend, I never finger prick test any more, highly recommend if you can afford it, even if just for a little while, its an eye opener [/QUOTE]
