[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 2174939, member: 6467"] I know someone who was diagnosed with T2 and decided that they weren't going to change their lifestyle. They would eat what they wanted and balance it with insulin. I saw them a short while back and they said that it wasn't going well. They were still overweight and frankly looked very unwell. Anecdotal and not a proof, but I think it depends on why you are taking insulin. If you aren't producing any then (not from personal experience) you can chose what you eat and what insulin you take to compensate. If you are still producing your own insulin and your main problem is that your body can't use it properly then taking more and more insulin can end up as a vicious circle of increased insulin resistance and increased insulin dosage. As this is a general thread, I think there are at least two answers which relate to why you are taking insulin. T1, do your own thing baby! T2 with IR and high blood insulin levels, think very seriously before you whack even more insulin in. [/QUOTE]
