Poll Question about Weight Loss and Type 2

Type 2
1

I am posting this on my blog and a couple other places. I’d really appreciate it if those of you who have been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes for at least two years would reply here.

  1. Did you lose weight intentionally after your diabetes diagnosis?

  2. How much did you lose? What percentage of your starting weight was this?

  3. How did you lose it?

  4. Did you keep the weight off 1 and 5 years after you lost it?

  5. Did the weight loss make a difference in your blood sugars in terms of changing how much carbohydrate you could eat without spikes?

Hey, I am a type one but I have a bit of experince with this …

When I was a kid, I was skinny and very active. My doseages were tiny and maintaining controll was easy…

Then I got out of college and started working, alot… I gained a lot of weight my doseages went through the roof, I felt like crap and control was not what I had.

Then I got bells palsy, and couldnt really eat ( food made me sick, and it wouldnt stay in my mouth )

I lost weight fast, really fast spookey fast… I was tring to maintain a high protine diet to avoid burning up my muscle.

The bells palsy went away, I had dropped 75 lbs in about 4 months. (240 down to 165 ) My doseages fell through the floor, if I missed a shot I might not go high at all…

I could eat what I wanted, but by then just didnt want to eat so I stayed pretty skinny, and my doseges stayed really low.

I wan on humalin r and l then the morning was 2/3 and evening was 2/1 yea 1 and I woke up the next day in normal range.

I was skinny for a few years, and they rocked… 8^)

Then I changed jobs and spent 5 hours a day commuting to work and getting no excersize, and stressing out ( with pizza )

the weight came back and the doseages went back up like a rocket.

Now, I am away from that place and burning off the mess I got myself into…

Here is what I have been useing to help

Nice thing about this guy is he isnt trying to sell anything at all. He just wants to share the tools that helped him succeed…

For him it works, for me at works when I am actually trying, and it might help some folks here.
