The downside of insulin therapy

According to a report in Dr. Julian Whitaker's Health and Healing
(www.drwhitaker.com), insulin therapy shouldn't be used to handle type
2 diabetes. He cites the example of a 50-year-old woman who is 100
pounds over weight and is taking insulin to handle her diabetes.
"Insulin therapy in the obese type 2 diabetic is a disaster. It's
like treating alcoholics with martinis! Insulin makes overweight
patients gain more weight. This excess weight drives the blood sugar
up even more," writes Dr. Whitaker in his June 2009 newsletter.
