I just stumbled into something!

I just stumbled into some info that will help me a lot. In another post imagood1 told another poster who was loosing really slowly that it was some of the diabetic meds which was making them hold on to weight. Bingo! It makes perfect sense. Last time I was on Atkins I was only on one of them. Now I'm on three! In the immortal words of Homer Simpson....Doh!!

Glad you found some answers. It is good to know that you are not doing anything wrong. Keep hanging in there.
Carole (imagood1) is a gem.

Does anyone know the science behind this? I find this highly interesting...

A lot of diabetic meds has to do with boosting one's insulin production. Insulin is a fat storing hormone.

I participate in a program through our insurance called Face-to-Face. In this program I see a pharmacist on a regular basis. She checks my bp and my 2 week blood sugar average, weighs me and we talk about how I am doing. I saw her today and told her about the information I stumbled across. She totally agreed with me! She even figured out which one was the culprit, since I'm on three different ones. So, here is the plan I'll be calling my doctor on Monday and asking to discontinue Actos, and increase Glucovance. I'm feeling some major weight loss coming on!!
