[QUOTE="azure, post: 1250954, member: 39639"] You don't have to totally ignore their advice, but you need to apply it to your situation. If you have insulin resistance, then lowering your carb intake and losing weight should help decrease the insulin resistance. I have Type 1 and I am sensitive to insulin so have no insulin resistance. However, that doesn't mean I can eat whatever I want. I do need to think about portion sizes for carbs, and I need to count my carbs so that I can adjust my insulin to match what I'm about to eat. After all, that's what non-diabetic people's bodies do. Diabetes - of whatever type - does mean some kind of adjustments to,your diet, and having to think about food more than others have to. I suggest you speak to,your diabetes team about a carb counting course. You'll then be able to match your insulin better to your carbs and improve your blood sugar control. But you need to find a good level of carbs for you as an individual so that you can attempt to,reduce your insulin resistance, which, in turn, should help you lose weight - so a win-win situation.
