[QUOTE="bulkbiker, post: 2402568, member: 219467"] T2's already produce too much insulin so jamming more into their bodies to bring down blood glucose after eating too many carbs can be seen as rather counterproductive although many doctors still see this as a reasonable thing to do. T1's don't produce their own insulin (or, if they still have residual endogenous production, very little) so have to inject it. Some T1's manage their insulin requirements by eating low carb in order to have smaller swings in blood glucose (the law of small numbers) others eat what they like and calculate their insulin requirements based on that. The two conditions can (in my view) be split into" too much" endogenous insulin T2 and too little (or none) T1. [/QUOTE]
