The problem with insulin (apart from the injections!) is that being a T2 we are already insulin resistant so you usually end up with ever increasing doses and the problem gets worse. I struggle with my glucose even on a low card diet but I know I would be a lot worse if I wasn't very careful with my diet.

That has been a worry of mine for a long time, I get told I need to lose weight but yet get told that insulin can cause weight gain.
Are you in Insulin?

Just wanted to provide an update....

I saw my diabetic nurse today expecting a battle about insulin but I weighed less than my last visit and since I posted last week I have really dropped my carb intake, split my metformin over the course of the day and moved my Victoza to Lunchtime that has resulted in a downward curve in my blood glucose results overall and also my fasting levels have been dropping.

I've been told to increase my Victoza dosage and go back in a month. I am going to hold off increasing my Victoza for now as I want to continue monitoring my blood levels.

Thank you everyone!
