Thanks everyone. I appreciate the support. I think the biggest resistance to insulin is the thought of jabbing ourselves with the needles. I was on Byetta for a very short period (couldn't tolerate it and it did nothing for my bg) but I did get passed the needle thing...at least the short ones in the pens. Not sure how I would handle the syringe.
So in carb counting, I take it you figure out ahead of the meal how many grams of carb you are going to partake of and then administer the correct amount of insulin to counteract the effect it will have on you bg? I have kept a log this past month of my before and after testing as well as a food diary so she can see what's going on. I'm still working on the weight loss also, so all of this tracking has actually been helpful. I have heard that Lantu can be a factor in weight gain so I am trying to be really careful with what goes into my mouth so I can continue to take this weight off. I am on metformin also so I think that is helping.
I am just amazed at how much more I have learned about this pesky little disease in the last few days on this forum! God bless the internet.
