[QUOTE="annalou1971, post: 2686022, member: 135962"] I have been on lantus for over 10 years. Also dapagliflozin and gluclazide. Despite these My sugar has always been high. A few months ago, I came across the concept of insulin resistence. And I figured what's the point in taking it if I'm resistent to it. So I stopped taking it. This was after the development of diabetic eye problems. My HBA1c went from 97 to 72 after 3 months of not being on insulin. When I saw my nurse, she said I can't just stop the insulin. And insisted I continue taking it. When I refused, she increased my gluclazide from 40mg, tablets up to 160 mg on my next prescription. I questioned what this drug did, and she said it made me produce more insulin. So I'm thinking, I'm insulin resistent. So why do I need more insulin. So, I stopped this medication and continued my plight to reduce my insulin resistance. It's taken a few months of intermittent fasting, only eating low carbs and only having breakfast, light lunch, and dinner, between hours of 10 and 6. And no snacking in between. My blood sugars are much better, now between 6 and 8, rather than the 16 to 28 that they were and have been for years. I am awaiting my results from my latest blood test, but I am confident that I'm getting there I have been on medication since 2008 and have just gotten worse and worse. Now, I'm treating my insulin resistence. It's been a slow road, but I'm getting better each day. Has anyone else experienced similar [/QUOTE]
