[QUOTE="Mr_Funnel_, post: 2012330, member: 182330"] I have been battling weight gain and high glucose readings and relying heavily on insulin. Last year it really got me into a dark day of desperate depression after I found out a much needed orthopaedic operation to partially replace my knees from arthritis wasn't going to happen. With a BMI of 40 and 108kgs I was heavier than I had ever been. I really needed to do something so Weight Watchers was joined online. At least I could do was give it a shot..... This was only in November and by December I had lost my first stone and also experienced some mild hypos. Went for it and stopped taking fast acting and halved background...only had a couple of correction doses since November and weight is down at 90kgs.....that's almost a bag of cement lighter....And my orthapeadic consultant is going to not do replacement but instead an osteotomy on both my legs (one then recover before the other) .... Turns out they're bowed and straightening should get me bearing weight more so on the good portion of the knee....... Why no one thought to check when they did the arthroscopies I had last year is beyond me...but there we go [/QUOTE]
