[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2022054, member: 480869"] In your shoes I wouldn’t be so quick to assume that unless I had tried and proved that theory. Unless of course you aren’t actually a type 2 but possibly another type. Do you produce too much or not enough insulin? Unlikely to have been established on the nhs I’m sad to say. Many T2 have a genetic propensity or a concurrent illness or a lifestyle that tips the balance. How we deal with that situation - regardless of how it’s caused - effects what happens next. Type 1 have no option than medication as they don’t produce insulin or not enough (and possibly the type 3’s that I know next to nothing about but understand they are like a type one but caused by external influence rather than internal). Type 2 have more flexibility. We generally produce too much insulin and have high glucose in response to carbs because we fail to respond to the insulin typically. Reduce the need for insulin (self produced or injected) reduce the problem. Adding more and more insulin whilst maintaining demand (eating high carbs) seems counterintuitive and fuelling the problem by adding to our insulin resistance. Ultimately I understand our bodies may give up, almost as if in exhaustion, producing our own insulin therefore need it by injection so nothing I say means that I don’t accept that in some cases it’s necessary but I genuinely believe many type 2 are put on insulin when there are other options still available .
