I have been trying to get off my insulin. My AlC 5.8 but I am still on 1500 metaformin a day, down from 2000. I now take only 2.1/2 glyburide before dinner, down from 10mg. I only take insulin if my BS is over 100 at night. I watch that figure closely because it is my judgement wether to take the Lantus or not. I have been reduced to 24U from 34U. I have been on this diet since January and have lost 14 pounds. I found that the last 2 pounds I lost were because I lowered my daily carbs from 20 to 10. It is hard to adjust my calories but I tried to do Fitday before the day starts.

I will say that exercise, although it is very little, 1 mile a day, brings my bs during the day back to normal ranges. These are the new changes to my schedule. I will keep this schedule until I reach another level of Rung 1.
