A member asked:
Is it possible that taking unneeded insulin confuse a person's pancreas or make it "lazy" ultimately leading to diabetes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: No, but unless enrolled in a study to preserve beta cell function, use of Insulin when one has normal blood sugars will cause other problems.
