I lost 30lbs in about three months. I started getting really low bloodsugar so my nutritionist and Dr. Agreed that I should adjust to something to control blood sugar stabilization. Sadly after 2 years of trying to avoid insulin I start Lantus soon.
Sorry to hear r3... But the alternative is worse...

Yeah it is! Just another bump in life's road r3, annoying maybe but doable. I had to check cat's blood sugar twice a day and give her Lantus for 3 years. Good thing it was that cat because no way I could be sticking any of the other 3 in the ear for testing once let alone twice a day (and often many more, I swear that cat pulled the blood down from her ears when I was going to use the lancet).

Thanks all. I realize its not a major deal in the grand scheme of things but still irritating. Lol

Oh yeah it is. Especially since you have been working so hard to avoid having to take insulin. At least (I THINK) since you have done pretty well so far you won't likely have to take huge doses of the stuff. The cat got up to 3 units twice a day. The guy across the road, being substantially larger and not really working at a proper diet for diabetes, takes 70 units. He has other insulin as well, don't know all the details.
You got this, it will be annoying at first, then it will become a "don't think much about it" habit.

Current stats:
Age 40
Weight 327lbs
Height 6'2"
Blood sugar 190-250
Elevated cholesterol
Before my pinched nerve I worked out 3-4 days a week and I still watch what I eat very closely. I was told not to track what I eat as closely as I used to because I obsessed over it.

I've heard that. In fact I have read the advice "don't look at the scale, look in the mirror".
Weight loss would be a positive but easier said than done. One step, one day at a time.
