Hi I was only on Metformin 500XR
Had a toe infection explosion they sent me to ER for, talked them out of Amputating my toe.
Did surgery to clean out infection tip of toe and get bone biopsy StrpB infection went on 6 weeks IV antibiotic and oral antibiotic healed nicely and quickly but going into hospital A1C was 12.9 so they immediately put me on insulin.
Humalog generic and Lispro ( long acting?) Fast forward 3 months. Gained 25 pounds horrible. Bad choices in food cause I started eating to the insulin. I belong to Virta low carb living I had just given up last fall all the bad choices. I know keto doesn’t work for me with Excercise. My Mom and her brother and Sister were all Type 1 but no sign of antibodies for me so Type 2 diagnosis. But I don’t feel comfortable in this much insulin! Can I ever burn off fat with this much insulin riding along all day every day. Don’t I have a ton more risks being in insulin? A1C now 8 as of MAY 1
Need some suggestions on navigating. I was still making insulin before subscribed additional insulin, won’t giving myself artificial hormone insulin kill off my pancreas producing insulin and isn’t my #1goal getting rid of all my visceral fat?? How do you loose fat if taking insulin?
