Doctor, I was informed that in Type 2, insufficient Insulin is being produced.But your article says that ' sufficient ' insulin produced.
Also it says that insulin may be administered for Type 2. If 'sufficient ' qty is produced why additonal insulin to be administered? We are ' non medics '. Hence plz clarify.

Hi, I'm not a doctor but I'm in pre-diabetic stage. Type 2 is basically caused when our cell dont absorb insulin produced by our pancreas. As days goes our pancreas also stops producing insuline slowly. Dear friend, last year my blood sugar level was 181 90mins after food. Now its 142. All I did was 30 mins walking before food (atleast in morning & evenings) no sweet contents small meals 4 times insead of 3 big meals good amt of veg salads with meals. This was difficult to start with but now I feel comfortable & routine. All the best. We just hv to force our cells to absorb the insuline with out tension.

Hi, That is correct. I am also diagosized with pre-diabetics after doing several blood tests. My blood glucose level was normal. But my insuline level was little high. So they did IGTT (insuline glucose tolerance test) which showed that my sugar level was high 1hr after meals. So its true that the insuline is available but our cells are not using it. Let me try exercise b4 food. Thanks.
