I was diagnosed with type 2 three yrs ago. I have lost 80 lbs, I now weigh 127 lbs. My blood sugar just gets? higher and higher. I have to cut more and more carbs out (I'm down to 30 grams per meal) and walk and exercise for longer and longer. The diabetes in controlling me instead of the other way around. It's just getting worse. I am on 100mg metformin 2x a day, 10 mg glipizide 2x a day and actos 45 mg 1x a day. I suppose it's time to go on insulin. But is it expensive? Is it as complicated as it seems. Will every meal become a math quiz? I really don't want to go this route but I think my pancreas is about dead. Should I fight to stay off insulin or just give in?
My blood sugar soars to over 200 on a daily basis, even hours after eating and working as a server on my feet for up to five hours a day. I will be starving and have a blood sugar of 190 or more.
Im 45 yrs old
Peachy replied: "Sounds like another misdiagnosis. I'm guessing you are still under thirty and that your pancreas is failing. Sure doesn't sound like the insulin resistance associated with type 2 and older folks like me. One poster here called it type 1.5 which I thought was an interesting observation. Go to the links I've posted below under type 1 and see what you think. You might want to stop drinking milk and consuming other dairy products after reading them. It might not be too late for your pancreas to recover. Here you go:
For type I and type II diabetics (and those who are overweight and could potentially become diabetic). Copy and bookmark the webpages Ive listed below they are invaluable for those with diabetes and/or weight problems...
I've found a wonderful book that will help you control your diabetes and minimize or even eliminate the complications. Some folks who became diabetic due to poor diet and obesity are effectively cured by following the advice in this book. I'm a type II (inherited), but it helps all types, especially those who became diabetic due to poor eating habits. It's by an author who has really done his homework, Patrick Quillin, Phd. It's called, "The Diabetes Improvement Program". I have tried his suggestions and found them to be very helpful. I have no complications whatsoever and my blood sugar levels are quite stable. Yes, I still have to take Metformin (Glucophage) daily, but it's the minimum dosage (500mg) and I only have to take it twice a day. I have been off Metformin for as much as a week, but this was with vigorous exercise. Many, what I call, non-hereditary type IIs (those that don't have a close relative who had it) have gotten off medication completely, just with diet, exercise, and supplements. So, in some instances, it most certainly can be 'effectively' cured. Read more about it here:
The book explains what's going on in our system and what to do about it. It's really easy and inexpensive. It's basically diet, supplements, and exercise. For example, did you know that cinnamon helps blood sugar absorption? It also controls cholesterol and triglycerides. This is according to the USDA:

nido_tr3s replied: ""Peachy" above is absolutely right and should get the 10 points here. You may be in between types. Try eating a low-carb diet (don't go crazy with it, but try to stick to meats, cheeses, nuts, cottage cheese, veggies and lower-sugar fruits like apples) and eat very little bread, crackers, chips, starches, or milk. Another idea is to try to go off your medications for a week just to see what happens. My type 2 actually got better getting off the medicines! The site below is highly recommended to you by me, and has changed my life. Good luck."
curious cook replied: "If your physician says you need insulin, do it. You will regain some control back on life. At the moment, your high glucose level is a ticking time bomb. It will lead to heart disease and neuropathy. Do not fight insulin. Good health to you!

ang-pogi-ko replied: "Hmmmmmmm. Sounds like what happened to me and it turned out i had toxic thyroid problem which resulted in weight loss as my body was burning more calories than it should. No harm in checking this out.
I'm on Insulin 70/30 type. It's really not that expensive. What makes it expensive are the pills that could be added to the insulin dosage. In my case
rather costly as I am also taking Cozar and Prialta.
I believe there is a stage where pills no linger work as i was on pills for 8 years.
Good luck and don't worry so much as it also has an effect on our system."
ronibug replied: "Yes, it's probably time to go on insulin if all those oral meds aren't working. Using insulin is not complicated. Once you get the hang of it it's like brushing your teeth. First, ask your Dr. about it, then go to your local health dept. and see the diabetes educator. You will get detailed instructions and have support when you have questions. Don't wait around, uncontrolled diabetes is damaging your internal organs right now. If not treated properly it could cause blindness, heart disease, skin breakdown, neurological damage among other things."
BRUCE D replied: "You should go to the doctor and have some tests run. Having your thyroid checked as someone suggested is a good one. And while they're at it, have your insulin levels checked. Metformin and actos are not drugs that are going to help much if you're not making enough insulin. In my opinion, glipizide is NOT good. Many doctors believe that it stresses the pancreas to the point of exhaustion and a good way to wear your pancreas out! Which might be what is happening! It depends on the insulin whether it's a newer or older. The newer insulins usually work better, but then many people still use older ones have no problems. It's not that bad. Don't think of taking insulin as "giving in" or failing. You've done a great job losing all that weight! If you still weighed over 200 lbs then that would be a different situation...one that you might be able to still battle. Go to the doc, get those tests done. You'll feel better. One thing about the insulin though...gotta be diligent in watching what you eat and exercising cause it makes putting on weight very easy! Good luck and take care."
g m replied: "good job on the weight loss that is hard to do. My son has been type one for 24 yrs. We never were able to use anything but insulin so that is a little different ,however knowing several diabetics In my opinion only(ask dr) insulin gives you better control and doesnt have all the side effects of your oral meds.read up on all of them. my son is on the lantis insulin which gives you much more flexability about when you eat etc. it is expensive. talk to your doctor maybe with insulin you could eat a more varied diet. good luck and be sure to check sugars often"
