Hello!

I was on insulin 2 different kinds and I did not stop taking meds just GREATLY reduced the amount that I took. SN- do you know how to delete this account?

I was a controlled diabetic for 4 years prior to surgery, and had dropped almost 40 lbs before surgery, so we (endo, surgeon and me) decided to take me totally off my injection 3 days before and stop by metformin the night before. I have never took either since, and rarely go out of 70-120 range (I dip low a bit, however).

The doctor said part of it was my bone/muscle density, and that my weight was centered in my abdomen, and I had lost alot ot the "center line". I had fought to keep my a1c below 6.2 and it was usually in the 5's, so all of this contributed, I think.

I am in complete remission, per my doctor's explination, because I am not just under control on a real low carb diet - I can eat a regular amount of carbs and be ok (ugh - but really don't like the way the carbs makes my tummy feel).

If you do not have an actual endocrinologist (sp?) you may want to gather your records and see a good one.
