Protein can get turned into glucose after the body uses what it wants for protein rebuilding.

What long term insulin do you use and does it have a plastic plunger inside it? I just learned that beyond 3 days plastic can degrade insulin and by the end of the two weeks that I use one disposable pen, the worse it functions, and I have to use more rapid insulin...so in my next purchase I will get the plain glass cartridges and just withdraw with a syringe. I found each 3ml Solostar had a different response but they all get worse as I get closer to the end which means I am using the insulin closer to the plunger inside.

I was planning not to mention this on the site until I get to the plain glass vials and see the difference...but that won't be for 2 more months, as I use so little insulin. I also noticed a person on this site works for the manufacturer.

But my experience has been so bad since June that I am attending seminars to switch to a pump...the first pump seminar is where they mentioned that plastic degrades insulin...even when I called the Lantus manufacturer they said, but we test it to see that it lasts the full 28 days.

We finally believe what our own experience proves out...that's why I won't explain this on the site until next June or so when I have fully tested.

But my 5 years previous on Lantus there was no problem because I was using 10ml glass vials, but they lasted me over 2 months, and I kept them in the fridge, both humalog and Lantus...I will go back to that, but the manufacturer had told me throw it out at 28 days...that angers me and I won't do it...they want to sell more insulin...they just won't warrant insulin beyond 28 days at room temperature.

If you add in chromium it will help, but you might not notice the difference. Chromium helps insulin attach at the receptors.

You seem to have the determination necessary to get all the pieces fit into a solution...I suggest you create a DOC for yourself to place all the links, and tests, and ideas in one place, and make it a New Year's plan to reverse your own diabetes...don't listen to those comments that once you have diabetes, you always will....because I am saying now, that I would apply a different approach if I knew these things 30 years ago...the one thing I avoided was gaining a huge amount of weight like other diabetics do by following doctors suggestions...I just use doctors as consultants, but they still need to be paid attention to, so you can add their comments to your DOC file...the only thing you will always have, is the need to pay attention to carbohydrate comsumption and keep it LOW...remember that even protein can be turned into glucose by the body.... and the brain actually can use ketones and so can the kidneys, so ignore those uninformed comments that without glucose the brain is starving...that is false.
