A member asked:
Can chronic insulin administration, by itself, cause insulin resistance?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Insulin: Insulin resistance can occur but not when you are taking proper care of your diabetes. Are you checking your blood sugars regularly? Are you taking too much or too little insulin? Your doctor can teach you but you have to learn to take care of yourself. Many doctors offices have group treatment for this.
