[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2454985, member: 480869"] Type 2 generally produce large amounts of insulin. The problem is more they are resistant to it. So they make more to overcome this resistance. Like turning up the volume if you’re hard of hearing and have damaged your ears. Some medications help you make more still like gliptans or even inject some. So eventually the aim is the massive amounts of insulin eventually brings the glucose levels back down. The problems however is that these high levels of insulin make you even more resistant and the underlying problem gets even worse and you need more and more medication to keep control. And add to that the hyperinsulemia causes other problems related to metabolic disease eg high blood pressure, fatty liver, cardiovascular diseases. This is why type 2 is seen as progressive and even if blood glucose levels are controlled by medication complications still occur. Most of us in here seek to address the fundamental problem of insulin resistance. That controls the blood glucose levels by allowing us to respond better to more normal amounts. Medication is either not required or used less. And we address the problem by stimulating less insulin by eating foods that don’t require as much of it. Ie lower carb foods. This is why many choose not to rely on insulin, unless diet has failed to control us note: Insulin doesn’t cancel out carbs. It processes them. Beta cells don’t process insulin, they make it.
