Your beliefs are never neutral. They either move you forward or hold you back. You chose what you believe.
Topic: RE: Insulin resistance
I was diagnosed with insulin resistance and was up to 280 units of insulin a day and my sugar was running around 17 - 20. Gaining weight was monthly and nothing I did would stop it. After my RNY in November, I take 25 units a day and my sugar is normal. I have lost 66 pounds and feel like a 12 year old. I have my health back and I'm so grateful.

Topic: Newbi Question re: insulin resistance co-morbidity
Hello everyone...has anyone been diagnosed with pre-diabetes (borderline diabetes) and the insurance considered it a co-morbidity for approval. I take glucophage. If so what was your BMI? Thanks
Topic: RE: Anyone use Byetta?
I used this about 6 months before my Surgery and it really helped bring my Glucose levels back to normal. I was taking 1000 mg of Metformin and 10+ mg (dont remember) of glipizide before that and and it wasn't helping. Byetta help me get the medical clearance for my surgery. The shots to stomach arent so bad.

Topic: RE: Type 1 Diabetes with a Pump and RNY
I've been a Type I diabetic for 15 years, on a pump for the last 9.
I had RNY on 11/4/09. I have gone down 84 lbs all ready. Low blood sugars are a big issue. I am lucky though and have no problem with glucose tablets, or juice. I have even had to resort to a sugar soda once. I have yet to dump at all on anything. Except for what I need to treat a low blood sugar, I really steer away from anything I think might make me dump.
I just wanted to weigh in with my experience so far. Good luck to you.

Topic: RE: BS in low 230's
I would see your endocrinologist. Surgery does not always place diabetes into remission. 200 is too high. I still take meds (albeit less meds) after surgery.
Topic: RE: Should I try Metformin
Ask your doctor. My personal opinion is that April is a long way off in terms of stabilizing your blood sugar and stabilizing your blood sugar is necessary before you have surgery. Some people's diabetes is put into remission after surgery and IF that happens then your doctor will adjust your medication as needed. I will say that I still take medication even after surgery. Surgery is not an absolute given cure for diabetes.
