I stopped taking the insulin. My sugar numbers are higher but not astronically so. I lost weight already. I have a doctor's appointment this Tuesday and will address this issue with him.
The doctor keeps telling me to lose weight, but has prescribed a medicine whose side affects are weight gain. It is a losing battle. I plan to win.
I stopped the medicine because I didn't have money for it for six months last year, so I wasn't taking any. I lost weight. Once I started taking the medicine again, I started to fluctuate and have sporadic weight-ins and the weight kept inching up.
I eliminated ALL carbs from my diet (including fruit), eating only baked, or roasted meat and vegetables (green beans, cabbage, spinach, greens), and only snack on nuts and sugar free pudding and cottage cheese. How do you gain weight with such a low caloric intake? So, if being overweight is unhealthy, it is unhealthy for me to take the medicine. Confusing, huh?
Well, we will see if my doctor has an alternative solution.

Haven't had an apple, grapes or strawberry in a while (I did have an emergency piece of blueberry pie 2x last week, LOL) A trend is a friend. I am down over 51 lbs since Jan 2016 with more go. You have the right attitude. Let's go!!!

I've been off fruit for a while, finally had to give up nuts and dairy. Doctors do the best they can, but only know so much, and often not enough about nutrition, gastroenterology, etc. BH plateaued from cream in coffee and cheese, so cut the first and reduced the latter. Then there's cholesterol. It's a lot to juggle. Hope your doctor has some helpful insight.
