[QUOTE="Member496333, post: 2201529"] Have you had your own endogenous insulin levels checked to see if they are low? Fasting insulin or c-peptide? If you are finding it impossible to lose weight then it may be that your insulin levels are already permanently elevated. Something typical of type 2 before the pancreas runs out of capacity to cope. If this were the case then adding more won't help. Something to think about. How long have you been low carb, and how low? It took me the better part of one entire [U]year[/U] to overcome my insulin resistance, and that was with hardcore keto 24/7. These things sometimes take many years to settle down. I hope your doctor isn't rushing to offer treatment that will make your insulin/weight problems worse. It happens a lot. On the other side of the coin, if your insulin levels are now low, and/or dropping, then obviously injections may make more sense. [/QUOTE]
