@Gibbon In Type 2 Diabetes, a person's insulin needs may increase over time, requiring higher doses of insulin like NovoLog, due to a few key factors:
1. Progressive Insulin Resistance:
Type 2 diabetes is characterized by insulin resistance, where the body's cells don't respond effectively to insulin.
This resistance can worsen over time, meaning the body needs more insulin to achieve the same glucose-lowering effect.



Type 2 Diabetes and Insulin Production:
In type 2 diabetes, the body becomes resistant to the effects of insulin, and the pancreas may initially produce more insulin to compensate. However, over time, insulin production can decline, and the body may need external insulin to help manage blood sugar.
Risk of Hypoglycemia:
If your body is still producing insulin, and you're also taking NovoLog, you could experience hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) if the insulin doses are not carefully managed. Hypoglycemia can be a serious condition and requires prompt treatment, according to Healthline and Medical News Today.
Overlapping Insulin Sources:
When both the pancreas and NovoLog are contributing insulin, the risk of over-insulinization and subsequent hypoglycemia increases.
Alternative Treatments:
Doctors may focus on other medications or strategies that address insulin resistance or improve the body's ability to use insulin more effectively, potentially reducing the need for insulin injections.
Individualized Treatment Plans:
The decision to reduce or discontinue NovoLog is highly individualized and depends on factors such as your specific situation, blood sugar levels, and overall health.

I guess some of this is why

@Justmeraeagain Yes I am aware of these things as well that diabetes is unique to the individual. I think I told you before that mine is not normal type 2 onset but was caused by chemo damaging my pancreas and came on very quickly. I went through the sugar level roller coaster for years using the typical medications, metformin etc, a successful period of herbs only. I reach a point discovered while hospitalized for appendicitis, my levels had gone over 12, that a constant glucose diet (so many mg per meal) and Novolog insulin with each meal.
I have been doing that since and it doesn't matter what I consume to get that glucose. Because of my loss of most taste I've been using very high calorie Boost drinks to get my needed calories. For the longest time I was way under weight but recently gained 25lbs back after being down for those 3 years. Each day I've forced myself to eat something solid whether it's taste and texture is tolerable or not.
In the end what I'm saying treatment and nutrition wise what works for some of us doesn't for others. I personally believe myself to be in the unique cases.
