    Im now OFF Lantus!!!!!!!! type 2 diabetic

    I think Im going to explode Im so happy...Ive been on 4 shots of insulin for 25yrs as a wrongly diagnosed type 1 diabetic. I feel like Ive had my head screwed on the wrong way for so long...a lot of wrong and bad information and now the mist is clearing.

    It's not easy to lose weight with insulin, but we try and I did lose a fair bit. Im now OFF all my short term insuln and long term insulin and basically just on 2 slow release Metaformin pills in the morning.

    I started Atkins 2 months ago...Ive lost just over 10 kilos...I think that's about 22 pounds....sorry Im in Australia and totally metric lol

    I also started walking my puppy for 30 minutes a day...at first that wasn't very far...now we do 2 kilometres/1.25 miles in under 30 minutes.     Seriously I couldnt get around the bloack the first day....2 months ago!

    I decided I wouldn't be angry at all the misinformation instead I'd use it to motivate myself by saying one more obstacle removed from me being as healthy as I'd like to be.

    So I have reached my 1st mini goal and it tastes good!

    That is great. I look forward to the day I can get off the Lantus. I take about 30 units a day and I know that is what is holding my weight from going down quickly. Congradulations and good luck.

      i cant tell you how great it feels...I was on 70mmls of lantus...then a quick drop to 40....then nothing...

      the strange thing is..even though I know it is necessary to keep you alive lol....when you stop its like a blind goes up in your mind...something chemical has left your body...I felt really brain-clear if that makes any sense...

      good luck to you too!

        That is Awesome!!

        Congratulations! Atkins is such a healing lifestyle. It's always so inspiring to see testimonys like yours. Thank you for sharig your experience.
        I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes for 4 years. Atkins reversed it 5 years ago. Atkins controls it now. I kicked two meds to the curb for Diabetes. I know how that feels.
        I'm so happy for you
        It only keeps getting better.

                thank you

                I think I have worked out that Im only going to weigh myself at my doctor's once a month...I feel so motivated and the little ups and downs of weight really knock me about psychologically...I know ppl have said it lol...but Im one of those ppl that has to learn by making my own mistakes

                Plus the puppy is happy we're walking twice a day!
