[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2072825, member: 345386"] Fenn - I don't believe insulin is demonised, but I do firmly stand with trying other things before resorting to insulin, for T2s, as quite regularly it can lead to weight gain - especially where mixed insulins and/or fixed doses are prescribed. The need to eat a set level of carbs per meal, day in day out is just as wearing as constantly swerving carbs for some folks. Insulin is also a very hard tether to the pharmacy and supplies, which can oftentimes be avoided, particularly by those near the beginning of their time with T2 diabetes. Personally, I would like to avoid insulin forever, if I can, but if the time comes where my body or my circumstances change, rendering that a foolhardy stance, I will accept exogenous insulin.
