"thanks bsc
for the sincere caution and smileandnod for details. When its a child i know the growth and may other factors need to be tackled. But I also fail to understand why after so so many years we are unable to find a solution for this. Many…"
smileandnod replied to Elizabeth Byrd's discussion 'Insulin Dependency Reversing??'"Most of you are probably much younger than I am so my story may not be relevant to yours, but since developing menopausal symptoms and hormone fluctuations about 6 months ago, my Lantus dose has been cut in half from 50 units per day to 25 units per…"
christy replied to Elizabeth Byrd's discussion 'Insulin Dependency Reversing??'"I get very insulin sensitive to different types of antibiotics, even though its NOT a listed side effect on the one's I've taken, its just how it works for me. Particularly Bactrim and Keflex, if Im on either one of those I have to test…"
Brian (bsc) replied to Elizabeth Byrd's discussion 'Insulin Dependency Reversing??'"Sadly, the experience of Elizabeth and others who have seen sudden drops in insulin (or even being able stop insulin for a period of time) only seem to be honeymoons. Periods where the autoimmune attack takes a break and you experience what is…"

Amanda replied to Elizabeth Byrd's discussion 'Insulin Dependency Reversing??'"if i ate 150 carbs a day i would starve. i'm in my weight range and exercise regularly. i also work a very active job. if i didn't eat what i did i'd have to say i would be starving my body of food i need."
Sam F replied to Elizabeth Byrd's discussion 'Insulin Dependency Reversing??'"My situation was pretty similar. I was diagnosed about a year ago at 23. At first my doctor put me on 18 units of lantus. Long story short, I lowered it and lowered it until I got all the way down to 3, about two months later. Since then, I've…"
MelissaBL replied to Elizabeth Byrd's discussion 'Insulin Dependency Reversing??'"I used my lower belly for infusion sets for 8 years. My CDE made me stop using that area and now, when I cheat and use it, sure enough, my average BG goes up about 30-40 pts. Last time I called into my endo's office about unexplained highs,…"
JDavid replied to Elizabeth Byrd's discussion 'Insulin Dependency Reversing??'"I am LABELED as a type-2, IDDM and DM2 insulin required...go figure.
Like you Steph, I also have had to be treated as if I were a type-1 despite the t-2 label..
For the most part, I am not very sensitive to different foods like typical T-2s. I am…"
Stephanie G replied to Elizabeth Byrd's discussion 'Insulin Dependency Reversing??'"I have the same story I was diagnosed at age 20 nobody could tell me weather it was type 1 or 2 (its been over a year and still no answer) I have obviously been reading a lot about it, and I think I have 1.5 as well.. its between the two i heard it…"
