Ignoring high insulin levels can lead clinicians to prescribe higher insulin doses, which can accelerate disease progression and mortality in type 2 diabetics.

We can't find evidence that holds up here. Proponents are reasoning from mechanism or analogy rather than direct human data, and the most credible skeptics raise objections we can't dismiss.

“But giving massive doses of insulin to people with type 2 diabetes, actually is a downward spiral. I would much rather see people with type 2 diabetes control their diabetes through diet and lifestyle. And that might be a ketogenic diet, or a low carb diet, or exercise or good sleep, or all of the other thing. All of it. I'd much rather see that because when people try to control their type 2 diabetes with a molecule, even though it's a natural molecule insulin, we know that thats results in really poor health consequences, results in higher rates of cardiovascular disease, higher rates of mental disorders, higher rates of premature mortality.”

“Now they're pushing the insulin from high to super physiological all in an effort to control the glucose little realizing that in the process you're actually killing them faster because so much of what kills the type two diabetic is not the hypoglycemia it's the in the hyperinsulinemia and the insulin resistance.”
