Update: It's been three month without Insulin and today I had my highly anticipated consultation: a1c 39 (5.7) lost another 28 pounds (still doing cico with about 160g of carbs) Best thing is: now without insulin I just go about my day carefree, no constant checking, no lows.

Well, to put things in perspective, I've been diabetic since about 13 years. With a1cs mostly ranging from just barely acceptable to very concerning. And now I've had about half a year of very good results. That's a win for now. But it doesn't proof anything. I don't even know, why I'm now...

That's exactly what it feels like:) Thank you!

Today my doctor told me to go off Insulin! August 19: a1c at 103 (11.6) 80 units of Lantus daily 138 kg May 20: a1c 39 (5.7) 15 units of Lantus 105 kg I Achieved all that with one hour of light training per day and calorie restriction. I din't even go low carb until now. (Although...

Yes, of course I have Insulin resistance. Currently I am under 200gm/day about half of the time. I'll do that everyday now for a start.

I'll definetely tackle that, thanks. That's what I thought, thanks for the clarification. I've been a binger for most of my life. The binging stopped years ago. But it was no healing, only a truce. Meaning, as long as I ate 'inutuitively' and put no restrictions on my food, my ED would stay...

Sounds lovely. I always shied away of going low carb as a vegetarian with very limited animal products at all. I guess I have to find some ressources.

Thank you so much for your input. I only take Lantus once a day. How do I go about carb counting with that? I live alone and nobody knows about me being diabetic. So hypos are scary.

My Insulin intake is calculated as such: fasting level above target range for a few days: raise intake by three units. fasting level beneath target range: lower intake by three units. Keep going until it's safely in range I know about low carb, of course. Due to my eating disorder I am...

That's hard to pin down. I'm very disorganized with food. Also a lot more snacking in lock-down. breakfast: (only if I have to because of low numbers) 40g oatmeal, 10g sugar, an apple lunch: something like a breadroll plus vegetables or salad (no nasty dressing) dinner: a lot of vegetables or...

Sorry. Type 2. Have been for 13years. On Insulin since 4 years.

Hi everyone! First - I'm not a native speaker. I hope I'll be able to write comprehensibly. In the last to weeks I have lowered my Insulin (Lantus once a day) gradually from 50 to 25 units. That seemed advisable, due to my fasting glucose levels being around 3.6 to 5. (My advised range is 5.6...
