[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2402997, member: 480869"] Assuming you are type 2 and producing high levels of your own insulin The extra injected insulin is currently getting your bgl down. However you will have extra high circulating insulin as a result of this and your own production. Hyperinsulemia in and of itself is a problem, even when it is controlling bgl. In fact it’s how most type 2 begins. The body needs more and more insulin to successfully regulate normal bgl. Insulin resistance increases (in part at least to the cells being bathed in insulin) and more is needed etc until eventually it no longer achieves its goal and bgl begin to rise despite you pumping out all that insulin. Adding more insulin by injection controls the bgl but adds to the insulin resistance and the problems potentially caused by hyperinsulemia. [LIST] [*]Higher triglyceride levels. [*]High uric acid. [*]Hardening of the arteries (artherosclerosis) [*]Weight gain and obesity [*]Hypertension [*]Coronary heart disease [*]Cardiovascular [/LIST] There are studies about how medication whilst apparently maintaining adequate bgl does not prevent the complications of type 2 diabetes. In part at least due to increasing insulin resistance over time for the above reasons and also partly unambitious targets. Obviously it’s entirely your own (informed) decision but this is why I chose to manage it by addressing the underlying problems of hyperinsulemia and insulin resistance first and foremost and only using medication if or when this fails in addition to lifestyle choices - not instead of them. My parting shot is many that now happily and successfully low carb believed they’d never give them up or be miserable doing so and have been very pleasantly surprised. Once you step off that glucose rollercoaster and feel the benefits of better bgl, better weight management, improved bp, better sleep, more mental clarity, lack of hunger pangs etc etc it can be quite a powerful motivator. Then you have the excitement of learning about new foods and ways of preparing them that many that did little more than nuke a ready meal find they actually really enjoy. Have a look in the success stories thread and you’ll see what I mean. [/QUOTE]
