question for diabetics?



Recommended Posts

question for diabetics or those with insulin resistance:

I am very insulin resistant and am taking Actos. I seem to have a problem with hypoglycemic dips. I am wondering how I will be feeling on the liquids stage, and do I need to continue with the Actos while I am having zero to minimal carbs/sugar? I know that these are questions for my doctor, but I swear I like getting advice from people who have "been there done that" better.

(if it makes any difference i am not a sweet eater at all, my highs readings are only around 130-170, but i pump so much insulin that sometimes i will drop to the 40s or 50s. dear doc says that 20% weight loss... will probably have me off meds. )

I love this board! You guys are so wonderful and I cant wait to be banded. I have already learned SO much here.

Hi

check with your doc who has prescribed your medication. I converted to just "coverage" insulin for high blood sugars. The doc took me off the long acting stuff because it can throw you into a really low blood sugar situation.

You are right to ask this question.
