Why don't more people realize this one simple logical conclusion: pumping more insulin into your body is going to end-up killing you.

Sure, it will kill you more slowly than you'd die if you didn't get that insulin in the short-term, but it's definitely not a "solution". Diabetes is caused by insulin resistance. What do you think more insulin is going to do to your body in the long-term?

The ultimate/only good solution is to make you insulin sensitive once again.

That's a commendable goal with type 2 diabetes. Still, therapy will start with insulin to normalize glucose levels.

Sad fact: patients that don't manage to change their liefestyle or are too far into the disease will stay on insulin until they die.
