A member asked:
Is there a limit to how resistant your body can become to insulin? every time i go up on dose i'm fine for two weeks and then sugar jumps up.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: No limit. The only limiting factor will be getting rid of extra weight/fat that creates the resistance.
