Hi again Gobly,

I really do feel your pain, it is so fustrating when the books say so and so and so do the dr's but your not going down that same path.....do keep in mind seriously that the insulin you are on now is not working for you, I know the whole concept of shooting four times a day or more is a little off, and maybe it makes one feel at first oh does this mean I am worse, because the way we were taught so long ago.

Honestly though, you really should start paying attention to what you eat, I hope i don't get anyone mad here, but the more I follow a type 2 diet the less insulin I am requiring, so I get fustrated with carbs too, because they all don't think alike.....lol.........what I believe is the more bad foods you eat regardless if it is low cal or less carbs, they aren't necessarily good for you......and if your trying to get on lower doses of insulin or just trying to get less insulin resistance, why don't you eat wheat instead of white, stay away from high fatty foods......and watch what you snack on certain oils cause insulin resistance or insulin requirements to be higher , for example hydrogenated oils and msg, I cut all this out of my diet and wow, what a difference in insulin dosages for me......it could help you out too.....to get a little more controlled and get your body not used to resisting insulin....it did me and now I can eat white occasionally or something with the bad oils and I can count for them perfectly, just a thought for you too
