I visited the doctor last week. There is no solution to the problem of the medicine. All insulin has the side effect of weight gain. I went off the meds for 10 days and the numbers were high. However, prior to stopping the meds, I went to get labs. My HA1C was 6.7. That's the lowest its ever been since I was diagnosed with diabetes in 1995.
I am glad about it. I started taking the medicine again, and my numbers are good. Although I do not see a change in the weight on my scales, I am able to get into a size 20 pair of jeans. 10 months ago I was in a size 28 and couldn't wear jeans.
I have DRASTICALLY changed my diet. I don't eat bread, pasta, rice or potatoes. I eat plain Greek yogurt and plain cottage cheese. I eat lots of protein, make protein drinks and drink only water and iced tea sweetened with Stevia.
My snacks include nuts and sometimes Harvest Snapeas or a bag of pork rinds. Once in a while I will have a protein bar.
I have acclimated myself to eating this way. I dropped the carbs little by little, first giving up bread, then potatoes, etc.
Still the numbers remain the same on the scale. A friend of mine once told me "The scale is not your friend - how do your clothes fit?"
I am encouraged. I encourage my fellow dieters to not give up and keep on keeping on.
