I'm sorry to leave this area of the forum but 'the end is nigh'. I'm coming off insulin.
I don't want to jinx myself but it looks good for me to stop my insulin soon. Via medical supervision.
I will miss you all but I'm going to try and only post for type2s who are obese as I hv the most experience of the long prolonged experience. I'm no longer morbidly obese and as a result of clever eating and knowing what my body reacts to best I can compliment my bariatric teams great achievements.
I have yet to thank their team officially but in due course I will. Every effort to send individually thanks has been scuppered but that won't stop me.
They have been a fantastic team and through thorough c-peptide tests I can feel comfortable to say I'm still producing my own insulin. I may get another C-peptide test to check last one wasn't a blip in due course too. I did hv a period of lower insulin level so I will air on caution and will buy another 10 ketone test strips for my own piece of mind.
I'm delighted I'm not suffering lower insulin in my blood even though I've been Injecting less.
Once I get a clear diagnosis on my gallbladder and/or op (which will TAKE place)... if MRI (MRCP) sees the problem. The pain can at times be unbearable.... Supported by GP with pain relief which works off and on.....I will be keen to try past tablets which helped. Not any SGLT2 inhibitors though. They were horrendous.
I can now see the end of a very very slow journey on insulin and being extremely insulin resistant.
I am very very appreciative of its good work though and I'm due my annual eye test to reconfirm no damage. Phew!
I'll never pretend to fully understand my body but I know the NHS feel more confident now I'm not in a very high BMI category. And if they're happy so am I. Without their support I was really really struggling. I still struggle but tick boxes for a good hba1c and a body producing enough insulin, for now. Smiling heavily for once. An accomplishment down to the Roux-en-y operation 18mths ago.
Just a few more boxes to tick but as always I won't let go as I know can be done with NHS help. And boy have I some repayment due to it which I'm convinced I can give in abundance and with conviction once I'm more my active self.
I can get to my optimal health status so won't be giving in, anytime soon.
Thank you for reading. Thank you for your support.
I will pop in this area of Forum to read and support when I can.
I won't forget you all.
I'm going to be popping in off and on in my old areas of Forum. It I can be of help.
I'm a success and hv other areas I want to succeed in too.
Keep smiling
