[QUOTE="Mileana, post: 341384, member: 44543"] Just an update for those old people who are still here. A few days ago, I was told to stop my insulin. It doesn't quite work. However, I have lost so much weight and quit smoking that from the original 45 or so units, I am now down to no basal and today was 2 units of NovoRapid. Today, I've had 150g of carbohydrate. I could probably have gotten away with 1 unit of insulin if I hadn't had a mad desire for tortilla wraps. Yesterday, I had a total of 75g of carbs, still had to have 1 unit to drop the levels from 9 ish at some point during the day. I think I will end on 1-2 units of Levemir and 1-2 units NovoRapid for a while now. I can't quite get away with no insulin - my fasting levels want to slide upwards and anything above 15g carb/meal makes for a giant spike (12-17, I had to try and see). I would still have been very very pleased to have the half unit pen, but I am not getting it, it seems. That sucks, but oh well. Honestly needing ONE or TWO or THREE units of insulin a day is almost silly. I guess it does mean that with this progressive degeneration of my pancreas, that I've done a pretty darned good job at the weight loss, smoking stop and exercise/insulin resistance though. So yay me! Just wanted to update this post and check the new forum lay-out. And say hi, I suppose. Take care, all. [/QUOTE]
