Day-by-Day. March 14, 2018

Sugar is 48 mg/dl.
Yesterday I injected 240 units in the morning, and 305 in the eve. It is 60 units down from my recently daily dose. Today fasting is 48 mg/dl. Of cause it is better then 42 mg/dl, still, it is too low.
     I am worry to drop insulin dose too fast. I did it many times before, and this never worked good. After awhile I had to increase dose of injection, and I was sort  of pushed back. This is why I am not fancy to decrease dose right now. I have to be sure, I do need lower dose rather then it is just temporary decrease.
     I used to have friend of mine, I lost contact with him now. He was diabetic type 1 on insulin since childhood. He was obese, very weak. One day I met him, and he looked too skinny for me.
"What happened?"
"I lost 60 lbs" - and hes smile was broader then Broadway.
"How?"
"TaiSlim!"
"Count me in!"
I also lost 60 pounds. I shrank from size 24W down to 18W, and it was lose on me. He took insulin. I took Metformin and Glipizide. For him it worked. A few years later he still off insulin. A few years after I started my insulin therapy. All pound I lost returned. Now I am 5X. I do not have money to buy TaiSlim anymore. Just too expensive. If at that time I took Insulin, I would not have size 5X now. But a few times since my first insulin shot insulin supply was stopped, and I never can afford to buy it. Usually se seen as we just cannot stop to eat, eat wrong, or have not active life. That's right. Today trip to open door for me is too long. I cannot use mu scooter in urban apartment. It is too big, and rooms are too small.
     Now every time when I am in clinic I have unpleasant discussion how to lose weight. When it started? When I was size 14W. I all the time did have suggest to take weight loss surgery. Why? At that time my man worked and had very good Health Care plan. So simple. There is nothing about health or what is good for patient and what is not. It is simple, if there is someone who will pay. So simple. Our lives cost money. Why do not take them?
    Well, I never took this surgery. I do know very well how do I eat, and what size of stomach I do have. Also I am not easy to follow leader. I am independent person and very low in trust to anyone. So, I still collect pounds, but refuse to cut my stomach. Nether do I practice any diet.
      Well, about diet. No one ever published how not-healthy all of those commercial diets. Doctors recommend all of them, one better then other, and when one is out of fav, there is all the time another one enter on market with the same trash products but under different name. Thanks a lot. I am better with my home made soup and chicken.
