Hi everyone,

I know that i am blowing my own trumpet here, but I have just got to share this news with someone. In Feb 2010, I was put on Byetta to try and get my Bg stable and down. They also told me that it would help me lose some weight. Great I said, if it helps me then I am all for it. Well I was on Byetta till 12/01/2011, when they told me that my Bg was not coming down enough, so they put me on NovoRapid.

On 12/02/2011, they added to my NovoRapid another drug, Humulin I, which I had to take before bed. I knew that Insulin helps increase weight, so all the weight I had lost, I thought I would put back on. Well heree is the resulkts, since Feb 2010, I have lost a total of 30.9 Kg. Since 12/01/2011, I have lost 10.7 Kg, this is with taking Insulin. Don't ask me how, I just have.

All I know is that I feel better for losing the weight and I am going to keep at it. My HB1AC has come down from 11.4 at Christmas, to 10.1 last Friday. So all I can say is that it can be done because i am proof of that.

Sorry to have dragged on about it but just had to tell someone.

Paul, don't apologise - that's an absolutely terrific achievement! You should rightly be very proud.🙂 Keep up the good work and hopefully your HbA1c will continue to improve 🙂
 
Well done Paul! And never, ever apologise for feeling good about your successes. I'd add a big 'Well Done' pic but I've still not worked out how to do that. 🙂 XXXXXX
 
Well done Paul - and blow away.
Every loss deserves reward and very well done on getting the hba1c down too!
 
Well done you, something to shout about I'd say. You carry on trumpeting you deserve it xxx
 
Brilliant news Paul! Congratulations 🙂
 
Fantastic achievement Paul, well done 🙂
 
A very big thanks for everyone's comments and as I said I will carry on doing it till I feel that I have reached wwhatever weight I feel comfortable with. Thank you all

Paul
