I have to say as someone who made my own choice to move to insulin, this is a very brave thing to do. You should feel empowered that this is your choice. I have to relate to you my choice to move to insulin as someone with T2. You can read my story here. I encountered significant “insulin resistance” to my starting insulin. No doctor wanted to “own” the decision to start insulin. In the end, I made my own decision. But I did so carefully and with conservatively. Insulin is powerful. Never underestimate it. It is safest to follow the recommended path, start a basal insulin. A good insulin would be Tresiba which is very long acting and isn’t prone to hypos. You can be very successful with insulin even if your doctor is “insulin resistant”
