[QUOTE="WAGR57, post: 2288848, member: 518491"] I must say I’m confused as to why a Type 2 (insulin resistant) would need more insulin. As I understand IR, the T-cell receptors are damaged and so don’t accept or use the insulin hormone very well thus the higher BG. The BG gets higher and the pancreas thinks you need more insulin and too much insulin is yet another problem. For me when I hear BG goes down or gets better after taking insulin means your T-cell receptors are working okay and it’s the pancreas not making enough insulin. If I have this wrong please inform me how this works [/QUOTE]
