Type 2 diabetic on long-acting insulin

(Donna Musgrave) #1

. I’m looking for information related to diabetics taking insulin converting to this way of if eating. I’m the type of person who gains fat instantly when eating it–since I’ve started insulin. Does anyone else have that problem?

You need to work with your doctor to taper the insulin back. High insulin levels will keep you in fat storing mode, so you will have to make sure you eat enough to keep metabolism up as your body transitions to fat burning. You might not lose weight during the transition. Anyone who has meds that need to be tweaked needs to work with a doctor. If yours won’t, try to convince him with the science, or find a different doctor.

Thank you. I will look into it. Most health professionals that I’ve met don’t agree with the high fat low carb diet.
