Ok.. here goes... 56.. diagnosed with type 2 almost 2 years ago. Father passed away slowly from diabetes complications. At first I took control, changed to vegan diet and brought levels almost to normal. Now.. I am taking 100 units a day, eating just enough to function, and work out 4 times a week, and gaining weight. And every morning my blood sugar is over 250. Only thing my doctor, Kaiser Perm, will say is... it is progressive and she understand how frustrating it is. And to qualify to be considered for gastric bypass or lapband, I have to gain another 50 lbs. I am ready to ask her how long it will take to fix the problem if I take a full syringe every few minutes until I pass out. I am ready to give up if no one can or is willing to help me....
