What a lovely thread, I too am a type 2 diabetic. In the pass twenty some years since being diagnosed I have run the whole gambit.First starting out on insulin injections.Losing almost 100 lbs took me off injections to an oral med.With more weight loss i was off all medication for the last couple of years.Cutting out processed food and portion controll seemed to have been working,but then this pass april a sever infection from a minor surgery sent my system into septic shock resulting in a heart attact,and unable to produce insulin. Long story short back on insulin injections 4 times a day and testing as many times if not more

I guess we are blessed that Insulin therapy is available...the alternative is frightening. Be well, and for lack of a better thing to say, 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?

Thank you for the welcome Ms Tinkerbelly and JustJo
It has been a whirl wind to say the least. A few surgeries and a Bi-pass later Im back to enjoying life. I was fortunate that my body responded well to the insulin The dosages have been fine tuned and are keeping me within normal range so for now all is good.The body is an amazing thing only time will tell if the injections will be forever.

I'm down 47lbs today...well on my way to the year end goal of 50! Then, I will keep moving forward with a goal of another 50 by the end of June. My levels are still holding at a pretty good number, and I feel really good.
Be good to yourselves during this very stressful time ![]() Merry Christmas from my house to yours. |
