: My blood sugars skyrocketed. Doc wanted me to keep increasing insulin - I finally told him NO more. I was gaining weight. He sent me to Diabetes America. Those folks actually GET IT! They adjusted and changed my insulins and recently started me on Symlin, which works in the liver to suppress sugar production, also in the intestine to prevent absorption, makes you feel full sooner. It works on a cellular level on insulin resistance. A side effect is weight loss. I haven't been on it a full week yet, but am noticing I feel full sooner, and my blood sugars are improving.
: I always knew insulin resistance was a huge part of the problem here.
