Damn .... my insulin resistance is bad

[Mattymatt 491]

Well, I think I discovered something very interesting this morning. On the advice of one of the people in this bariatric support group that I attended over the weekend, I tried a low carb Breakfast at only 7 grams of carbs. This morning I woke up with a blood sugar of 121 and 2.5 hours post-breakfast, my blood sugar is 90. My insulin resistance must be pretty bad. Well, I now see that this journey is about a permanent lifestyle alteration. I am so over pricking my finger 3x per day to check my blood sugar. Also, I am done swallowing those Metformin horse pills. I am going to have to start collecting some food ideas.

Prior to surgery I had diabetes and was taking two types of prescription medicines to control it. But even with these medicines it was still not properly controlled. I had RNY surgery. Two days after surgery, when I left the hospital, I was off all my blood pressure meds and I haven't taken any since.

It was astonishing how quick my diabetes went into remission. For years I had been struggling with this disease, pricking my finger each and every day, and then it was gone.

Yeah, I'm not well controlled right now. I'm just trying to get A1C at or below 8%. If I can just achieve that much, I'll be so much better off.
