You don't know if your body is not producing enough insulin unless you have it tested. You will probably just have to pay for this test yourself as most doctors won't do it apparently even if you request it, beg for it, show them research data. It is pretty darn ignorant. Your body can be flooded with insulin and you can have high blood sugar. My doctor who specializes in this says your cells get candy coated and insulin can't do its job. So adding more insulin might force something, but is probably not correcting the problem in type 2. Read up more on fats. Some are good and they are what helps regulate your blood sugar. Everyone is different. I know on a low-carb diet my insulin levels last year were 24, with 17 being the highest is should be and 10 probably a good score. That is with me watching and being very compliant low-carb wise..It used to be 47. mg
