Message: <blockquote data-quote="fergus" data-source="post: 104146" data-attributes="member: 6150">I agree with you Nick.It's not as simple as just matching insulin to the food you eat. On the sliding scale, the greater the amount of insulin in circulation, the greater the long term effects on cellular metabolism and endocrine function at the smallest scale, right up to the function of the biggest and most important organs including the liver, the kidneys and the heart. Elevated insulin is clearly implicated in damage on all those levels. A local GP who shares this opinion once confided in me that insulin ought to be classified as a registered poison, given its impact on so many aspects of our health if used to excess!That's the case for non-diabetics. If you CP, like me, are an insulin dependant diabetic, you have to add to that the significant health risks associated with blood glucose levels which venture too high or too low because those variabilities tend to increase on larger doses too.I'm not going to get into why you didn't have success on a low carb diet because it's an emotive subject at the best of times. Although feeling hungry all the time is a very rare complaint it's usually resolved just by eating more!All the best,fergus</blockquote>
