FBG 5.8 Weight 98.4kgReasonable numbers again with the weight clearly on a downward trend overall so that's fine. At this rate I might just manage 10kg weight loss in the eight weeks, though it stalled after the first week until the insulin came down. I think it's a case of managing the reduction of medication very carefully as the blood sugar remains stable because it seems quite possible to have a steady state with no weight loss at all, the insulin actually preserving the weight. It would be good to get GP advice and reassurance on this but it would need to be one that's up to speed with the research and the ND. I'll see mine in the next couple of weeks. I suppose, in many ways, we're finding these things out empirically. Careful and cautious is the line with the medication I think, and not being over-ambitious and impatient. After all, there's no hurry.</blockquote>
