[QUOTE="Stephen Lewis, post: 2149447, member: 479176"] Low carb and exercise are the answer, [USER=471383]@Lowcarb 2[/USER] and [USER=398216]@Dippydolly[/USER] . If you are insulin resistant, all the body does is to turn unused carbs into fat. This fat is then available to turn back into glucose. I would always see a big increase in my bg in the morning well before I ate as my body naturally wanted to create glucose as I was waking up and the fat was there to make it. Of course the next insulin dose just replaced the fat and more from what I thought was a reasonable diet but not low carb - 50 gms per day. Exercise including fast walking and heavy weight lifting seem to have reversed the insulin resistance. I managed to cut my 62 units of 30/70 insulin to zero in 6 months and after 15 months I have lost over 35 lbs. It can be done don't give up. Set your targets and research how to get there - including this forum. [/QUOTE]
