Insulin Injections

Insulin injections for Type 2 diabetes add exogenous insulin to the bloodstream without addressing the pancreas or the underlying insulin resistance. Injected insulin promotes fat storage, leading to weight gain. Hypoglycemic episodes caused by insulin injection trigger carbohydrate cravings, which re-elevate blood sugar and require more insulin — creating a dependency cycle. Injecting more insulin into a Type 2 system that already has excess non-functioning insulin compounds the problem by further elevating blood insulin without resolving receptor resistance. Chronically elevated insulin from injections is a known driver of arterial damage and cardiovascular disease.
