Kevin, I really reduced my cholesterol this time too, but my A1C went up. I hardly ever have fast food, but I was trying to lose weight too (the onemore/last time

). I cut fat and tried to reduce the amount of Novolog I was using...... I had some idea it was keeping me from losing weight, but it didn't help. All I got from 3 months of this routine was my lower cholesterol and a 7.4 A1C. I felt better with the lower A1C, and my cholesterol was already pretty good .....so I am going back to the way I was before. Sorry about the pump problems, but I sure get tired of this MDI.
