[ErinC]

Hi everybody! My name is Erin and I'm quite low tech, so if I post on the wrong thread or something weird, I apologize now!

I began Atkins on 1/11/09, 4 weeks ago. I have been very strict Induction phase, my ketones have been moderate each time I check. I have only lost 3 lbs. My blood sugars are typically within range, but still do vary and go high. I can't explain why, since I am eating little-no carb! I have an appt with my endocrinologist next week, maybe my basals need to be adjusted?? I am scared to take more insulin, though. I do have to have about 1 1/2 glucose tablets if I run low...I don't want any more carb than that! I am nervous about exercising...but I will start walking tomorrow and maybe put my pump on suspend.

Has anyone else had such a slow start??
Anyone else on an insulin pump, induction, and exercising??

My start weight was 180 lbs, currently 177, goal 130.

Thanks for any help!
