[QUOTE="Krystyna23040, post: 2402732, member: 374421"] My experience was exactly the same as yours. 125 hba1c and straight on insulin. If I had been T1 or LADA that would have been absolutely the right treatment, but as a T2 I found that eating low carb worked much better for me than eating carbs and injecting insulin and I was able to completely come off insulin and improve my health. Like [USER=355878]@Resurgam[/USER] - I have also read reports of other people who have come off insulin and meds - so I am definitely not unique. As [USER=219467]@bulkbiker[/USER] mentions - giving T2's yet more insulin can be very counterproductive and over time may lead to more problems than it helps - this was definitely my experience over the 4 years I injected insulin while following the standard NHS healthy eating advice. If you are diagnosed as T2 you are definitely in the right place to get advice that really works - as you have probably realised from reading the very informative replies on this thread. My one regret is that I did not find this site when first diagnosed. As [USER=517579]@KennyA[/USER] says 'You need to unlearn [B]all[/B] the standard NHS healthy eating advice' and this forum is definitely the best place to get good and up to date advice. [/QUOTE]
