Zoe replied to jolaha's discussion 'Reaching Out for Some Support...'"I agree and also have a question, whether you are absolutely sure you are Type 2. You don't say much about your management, except that you haven't been able to deal with it very well emotionally. Other than poor eating habits, are you…"

Okay,Probably not a good idea to start my first significant post as a vent session, but I’m really struggling with life right now.

jolaha replied to jolaha's discussion 'Extreme Insulin Resistance?'"Yeah...I like a good sign. I'll take it."
jolaha replied to jolaha's discussion 'Extreme Insulin Resistance?'"Thanks for your reply. I did reread the basal calculations in "Think Like a Pancreas" and should probably bump up some. Your point about not having enough basal insulin to cover my needs was thought provoking. That really makes sense.…"
jolaha replied to jolaha's discussion 'Extreme Insulin Resistance?'"You made a lot of good points, and gave me some more to think about! I have thought about splitting my Levimir. I have always had higher am numbers (even when I had good control), so I would probably do a higher percentage at night. I do see an…"
