[QUOTE="ickihun, post: 2423591, member: 196960"] I've always eaten a heavy protein diet but also ate simple carbohydrates more with occasional sugary treat. However once I went off the rails and then into burnout did I need insulin. Because of my body weight I was hugely insulin resistant. Muscle needed insulin to function and supply energy. Hence my protein intake also needs insulin. I'm very careful what I eat with protein my priority in a meal or snack depending which one I prefer. Yogart has plenty of protein for me at times. However fruit needs insulin... for me. So I've managed a low calorie, low carb and high protein diet but it still needs insulin. Untolerated high amounts of Metformin needs support. The safest med I feel for me is low amounts of insulin as a result. This can be reduced minimally to encourage small weight loss. I would still be 14st even on no injected insulin so circulating insulin doesn't seem to be very positive on my body. I'd need to swim athletically or jog/run to turn that production into positive energy. Throughout I have an inability to sleep unaided. No matter how strict my routine. I'm guessing adrenaline plays a huge part on which I've lived off since my babies were born. I'll never be 9st or even 10st woman. My own insulin or liver excretion works overtime..... for now. No matter my diet, exercise or medication routine. [/QUOTE]
