A year ago I was 300 lbs (5'7") and was shooting 70u shots
of humalog 7-8 times a day and 70u shots of lantus twice a
day. Still, my BG's were hanging above 300 most of the time......
Then, I got a new Dr. who sent me to an endo who showed
me the error of my ways. Now, I eat less than 30g of carbs
a day while keeping the fat intake down and eating lots of
whole fresh fruit and veggies. I take 1 tbsp flaxseed/day.
I'm riding my bike 2-3 miles per day if not more.
Now I weigh 240 and I haven't had a lantus shot in months.
I haven't had a humalog shot in over a week. My fasting
BG this morning was 107. My post prandial dinner BG
was 91!
I've got 4 vials of lantus in the fridge plus 3 vials of humalog.
Anybody want them? I seem to have found a cure for type
II IDDM......

Great !! Accomplishment Ken :)
that must make you feel wonderful to have lost 60lbs and all those
shots .
Keep up the great work... there's no greater motivator than being
healthy and seeing how unhealthy you were before.
