[QUOTE="TrinMonroe, post: 881215, member: 189772"] I have PCOS and im Type 2 diabetic and i take insulin twice a day. I take 70 units of insulin before breakfast....70 units before my evening meal. I also take a 500mg Metformin, slow release as i can not tolerate tablets as they cause bad stomach upsets. I have been on a healthy living plan (nice way of saying diet lol) for a while and this week i have been on a no carb, wheat, gluten, sugar, fat, processed foods etc detox....exercising every day. (The Body Rescue Plan) They advise to weigh after 4 weeks but i couldnt resist the temptation of seeing if i had lost any weight in this first week for a little encouragement, only to find i have not lost a single pound. My partner is also on the same detox and he has lost about 10 pounds. I know my pcos plays havoc with my hormones and effects my insulin levels and i am going to see my doctor and diabetic nurse on Monday to discuss coming off insulin or at least lowering it or trying new meds but i was wondering if anyone has any advice they can offer me regarding losing weight or trying a new medication as right now i feel very despondent. I will persevere with this detox as the no carbs have bought my sugar levels right down and i do feel better in myself but its just so discouraging not to lose any weight at all. :( [/QUOTE]
