Hi Grant, thank you for being so blunt in the details of your history. Unfortunately, they are not unusual. The very meds your doc prescribes for you, especially insulin are contributing to your weight gain. In additiion, they are doing nothing to stop the progression towards diabetic complications. The reason is that neither insulin or the other diabetic drugs attack the cause, over acidity of the blood and the damage that does to the pancreas, the insulin receptors and the nervous system. The answer is to alklaize your diet, 80% vegetables and friuts cut out fried foods, cakes pies and cookies. drink alkaline water, about 1 Gal per day, eliminate alcohol, sodas and bottled water they are all acidic. Continue to exercise and try to meditate 20 minutes per day. This is what I did to get rid of my type 2 diabetes. Good luck!
