[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 2117556, member: 150927"] [FONT=Arial]First of all - [USER=377794]@coleyd[/USER] - you can't be put on anything you disagree with being put on! My understanding is the relationship between medical professionals and their patients is always supposed to be consensual, negotiated, agreed upon. It is part of a medical person's professional code of conduct and ethics. And putting someone with a recent HBA1c of 50?(in my countries of residence - just in the diabetes category) on the most dynamite treatment, ie insulin, is very odd professional conduct indeed! (I doubt it would happen...) But dealing with feelings - and with frustrated efforts at getting pregnant. Yes - difficult to live with indeed. I've had insulin resistance (the underlying condition of much of type two diabetes) for decades, and through my trying to get pregnant as a young woman, and my pregnancies and raising young children. Are you operating from a position of being subfertile with insulin resistance? ie with PCOS (where the ovaries are affected and don't have the eggs coming out as they should). If so you are already doing the best thing you can - lowering your carbs and therefore your insulin levels. The good news is insulin resistance is 'just' [I]sub[/I]fertility, and you can still get pregnant - it just might take longer. (It took me a year and a half to get pregnant with my second child, for instance.) You are already doing, absolutely, the right thing by lowering your insulin resistance by lowering your carb intake. Neither me nor my doctors knew anything about lowering carbs to get better with subfertility back in my day. So you at an advantage in this regard! And you know what kind of way of eating you want to be on in order to lower your carbs - this is very good news indeed, and cause for being positive. You have already come a long way - so can afford to be pleased - at least a little? (And more than a little?!) That you are on a sensible path to fertility. At least your own! (We must remember the prospective father's role in making babies too I guess! :).) The constipation is a tough one to deal with (and no wonder you are feeling low as well with that) - there must be threads in the forum on this subject? Or, any other posters to take on this here?
