 my experience
I thought I'd share my experience. I don't think it will help you, Karabea, but maybe someone else who is reading this might benefit.
In addition to lowering b/s, insulin makes fat. Its really the only thing that makes fat accumulate. This is what makes the Atkins diet work. I had some weight issues in the past year or so and read this somewhere and has really helped me. So ask yourself, are you eating for you or for the diabetes?
For me, I was feeding the diabetes (when I'd go low, I'd eat for that reason) So I backed down my insulin to match my eating habits. I've lost a little bit so far. The extra 10 units or so of humalog and 5 of lantus i would give myself each day would essentially turn my excess eating directly to fat. |
