[QUOTE="Member496333, post: 2442614"] Can’t advise on insulin use but those are consistently high numbers so it would seem wise if you have the option. But without knowing for sure the existing levels in your blood then it’s a tough call between short term gain and possibly making things worse overall in the long haul. Hope you are still testing for blood ketones and making sure they’re not going high along with simultaneously high glucose. If it were me I would also remove all sweeteners and anything not a whole natural food, but your dietary choices are yours to make. It could be worth removing all that stuff just to see if you gain any benefit. EDIT: the fact that injecting insulin doesn’t seem to help much is a red flag for major, major insulin resistance. It’s not my place to diagnose but this would be in keeping with insulin misuse thanks to incorrect original diagnosis. If your insulin resistance is as high I suspect it probably is then you may have to contemplate more extreme dietary measures of zero carb and extended fasting in order to get that liver cleared out, but that in itself will probably raise glucose for a while so there’s not going to be a quick fix.
