Why I say this is that insulin is no magic bullet for most type 2 diabetics, it really infuriates me to continuously hear GP’s say that “as a last resort you will have to go on to insulin”, as if there is no hope left for you. You have stated is that you are suffering from insulin resistance now, it does not matter how much you inject, you will not reduce that resistance, or achieve the stable result that you desire from your treatment. We type 1’s also suffer from time to time from insulin resistance and our very lives depend on taking the stuff on a daily basis. It is going to be hard for you! But before you consider going on to insulin, you need to make major improvements in improving your body’s sensitivity to the insulin it is producing now. This can only be done by fine tuning the medication you are on at present, making adjustments to your diet, and best of all increase your level of exercise, if that is physically possible.</blockquote>
