[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2372857, member: 451727"] Hi Ellie, I was told that yes, there is a benefit to doing so in that your body releases/uses many different hormones (of which insulin is one, obviously) and they work very tightly in tandem with each other. If you still have some working capacity to process insulin naturally (via what's left of any beta cells) this enables the rest of your inner workings to sing in harmony thus keeping you (overall) healthier for longer and with a less stressed body. My Consultant said even a tiny bit of your own insulin can work towards this and so beta cells should be preserved (if possible) at all costs hence he felt even using small amounts of injected insulin to top up your own was beneficial. My opinion is that there is nothing 'good' about staying off insulin for longer per se, unless your body is fully able to process the insulin you are producing and can do so without undue stress. There are probably other views as well mind and as we all know it can be very complicated. x [/QUOTE]
