I became a severe diabetic over 3 yrs ago taking 4 to 6 shots per day.. now I have a pump that I have to be extremely accurate counting my carbs...[ went from appx 160lbs 8 yrs ago to 312 lbs... since may 12th, 2015 I weighed 312lbs..right now I weigh 303lbs by counting carbs... so much easier than counting calories...in exactly 8 wks since I got my insulin pump I have lost 9 lbs and I am feeling better every day...I think my pump is going to save my life...8 yrs ago I woke up and decided to thro away cigarettes after 34 yrs and I have never looked back. so I have told myself that I can loose down to 150 lbs and I wont look back.. I CAN DO IT ....
