There are wide variations in the behavior of type II diabetes. Some
folks make insulin fine yet their body isn't receptive to it and others
aren't making enough. The fatter one is, the fewer insulin receptors you
have on the cells. Lose some weight and that improves. People respond
differently to the meds and diets. There are too many variables to take
into consideration here on RFC alone.
This is why "one size does not fit all" is important to remember here.
