[QUOTE="AlcalaBob, post: 1676217, member: 30529"] Week 7 Day 43 Monday 22nd January. FBG 5.2 Weight 98.0kg Lowest weight yet so that's a good sign that it's inching down and blood level is fine. Starting week seven with a positive. Still on track to hit 10kg total weight loss by the end of week eight. Still only half of my target loss so I'll keep going. The trick seems to be matching enough insulin to keep the blood under control but not so much as to impede the weight loss. I'm sure the weight would come down quicker with less insulin but I'd rather do this slowly so that if the pancreas is going to recover, and it's not certain after all this time, I find out without experiencing high glucose levels again. If I was more recently diagnosed, perhaps there would be stronger signs of pancreas recovery by now. That would be useful input from an up-to-speed GP. In the meantime, I'm choosing to err on the side of caution as there's nothing to lose except a little time. Home stretch and looking good. [/QUOTE]
