I'm interested in what you find out because I'm always wondering why they don't put me on insulin. Next time I am going to outright ask. I have never been below a 6.3 or so...no matter what I do (and I'm disciplined) I have highs.
I am on metformin (fast acting) and I really don't know if it's working. I'm very tired of it all...I try to stay positive but I can't help but get depressed at times as everybody is so into food and sweets. Today someone brought in a chocolate cake and I just had to admire it and nothing else. Do I have to live my remaining years never enjoying food? I try to get thrills out of lo carb stuff but I miss my mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, pizza, pasta, and cereal.
So, I will follow this thread to see what people have to say and good luck to you. |
I was dx at age 37 with 1.5.. metformin did nothing for me.. insulin was the answer.. as far as missing pizza.. mac and cheese.. cereal.. you just have to change how you make it. Mac and cheese.. pasta.. we use dreamfields.. availbale on line but our store has it. It doesn't spike me at all. Cereal.. try Special K protein plus.. 9 carbs a cup. Pizza.. I love.. use low carb tortillas and pile on the cheese.. meats.. whatever. Sometimes we fry those tortillas in olive oil and then stack two with " double stuff" One torilla is the size of a plate and only 7 carbs. We really try to find news ways to still have some of what we really like to eat.. and keep it LOW
