Hi Diamondbutch and welcome to the thread.

It's one of the "joys" of diabetes...even when we have our blood sugars under control, we're still vulnerable.

Bravo to you for making the effort to lose all the weight, cutting out the processed food, etc. that got you off medications and made you healthier. Imagine how much more serious the heart attack would have/could have been if you hadn't done all of that good work.

It has to be beyond frustrating to be back on insulin....any hope that it will correct, or is this forever?
