[QUOTE="WAGR57, post: 2336827, member: 518491"] In reading the posts on this forum, I see there are some T2s using insulin. I can see using insulin if you are onset T1 but if you are IR T2D would insulin not be a bad thing? Here is my understanding of T2 types: IR Insulin Resistant: Target cells are not accepting the insulin hormone and pancreas starts making too much insulin. Onset Type 1 or LADA: The pancreas isn’t making the insulin hormone like it used to and is on the path to not being able to make any at all. TOFI (Thin Outside Fat Inside) : Liver and Pancreas have too much fat and this causes T2. A good low carb diet with intermittent fasting can remedy this condition. Not sure if meds are required or recommended. [/QUOTE]
