I worked with a man with Type 2 but on insulin and his insulin doses were going up and up, without bringing his BG down, despite giving up virtually all carbs. It did cause him to put on a significant amount of weight. After a lot of fighting with the NHS, he eventually got onto a DAFNE course and the first thing the consultant did was half both his basal and bolus doses. It took three days to take effect, but as he had got to the point where his body could do nothing with the extra insulin, it didn't cause his levels to raise. By the end of the week his levels were near normal and his basal was reduced still further over the following weeks. The weight also started to drop off. He didn't think anyone would listen to him and had he not seen that consultant, his own doctor would have continued to raise his doses</p></blockquote><p></p>
