[QUOTE="ckneppel, post: 1360811, member: 326591"] You are eating a LOT of carbs and driving up your blood glucose. Get a test kit and learn to eat to your meter. Lower your carbs until your blood sugar stays below 140/7.8 at all times. Blood glucose above 140/7.8 begins to kill pancreatic bata cells that you need to make insulin. If a person is pre-diabetic they have already lost more than 60% of their beta cells ([URL="http://www.bloodsugar101.com"]www.bloodsugar101.com[/URL]), so you need to do whatever you can to stop losing more and becoming full-on diabetic (you are already with FBG over 125/7.0) You need Metformin as your liver is blind to the insulin you do make and is confused and is making more glucose and driving up your levels - Metformin helps with that. Dr. Ralph DeFronzo is an expert on diabetes and has treatment protocols that can help you if you can get the old-school doctors (most of them) to go along with it! Good luck and cut those carbs. (Dr. Ralph DeFronzo [MEDIA=youtube]tNWi9TZTIAY[/MEDIA]). If you eat low-carb and take Metformin, the weight should start coming off. [/QUOTE]
