A member asked:
Can blood sugar level rise after introducing insulin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Insulin specifically lowers blood sugar. The only other thing to do that is physical activity. Your diabetes may worsen over time, or your weight may increase -- both of which can lead to higher blood sugars.
