I stopped taking the insulin. My sugar numbers are higher but not astronically so. I lost weight already. I have a doctor's appointment this Tuesday and will address this issue with him.
The doctor keeps telling me to lose weight, but has prescribed a medicine whose side affects are weight gain. It is a losing battle. I plan to win.
I stopped the medicine because I didn't have money for it for six months last year, so I wasn't taking any. I lost weight. Once I started taking the medicine again, I started to fluctuate and have sporadic weight-ins and the weight kept inching up.
I eliminated ALL carbs from my diet (including fruit), eating only baked, or roasted meat and vegetables (green beans, cabbage, spinach, greens), and only snack on nuts and sugar free pudding and cottage cheese. How do you gain weight with such a low caloric intake? So, if being overweight is unhealthy, it is unhealthy for me to take the medicine. Confusing, huh?
Well, we will see if my doctor has an alternative solution.
