Nobody could have predicted

High insulin levels tied to obesity pathway
The findings suggest that physicians may need to reconsider use of intensive insulin therapy to control hyperglycemia (high blood-sugar levels) in obese, diabetic patients with hyperinsulinemia (overproduction of insulin). In addition, the findings suggest that suppressing glucagon action could prevent hyperinsulinemia, without causing diabetes. The research team found that suppressing glucagon in obese, insulin-resistant, type 2 diabetic mice reduced blood glucose back to normal levels.
Can you say Metformin??????   Or Low Carb Diet??????

Dr. Atkins said this in the 1960's.  And Gary Taubes in the 2000's.
The Europeans gave up insulin for T2Ds a decade ago.

Thanks for getting around to finally confirming this....
