That's exactly what I thought when I read on HOW MUCH INSULIN YOU ARE ON and you are not even a diabetic. I know it's very easy for me to tell you to lose weight. I have no idea how old you are or if you can start some kind of exercise routine.

But the facts are, you are not a diabetic, and you are ON LOTS OF INSULIN. You need to teach your body to use the insulin it already makes. At the rate you are going, god knows how much Lantus they are going to give you.

I have been diabetic (type 2) for 20 years. I started with lots of oral meds, I was morbidly obese, and ultimately went into the ACCORD program almost 3 years ago. They started me on 46 units of the Lantus in addition to the 2 Metformin pills I was already on.

Well, I saw a nutritionist, got my act together (it's a whole new way to look at food believe me), but ultimately I lost MOST OF MY WEIGHT.

And the best news is that within a few months I was off the oral meds, and they started to lower my Lantus.

I am presently on 22 units of the Lantus. The only other med I am on is Zestoril for high blood pressure (it helps the kidneys if you are diabetic too).

Really hon, I would see another doctor (an endocrinologist) and run it by him (what you have been taking).

At least think about it. You are on A GREAT DEAL OF INSULIN.

The goal is NOT TO BE ON INSULIN AT ALL, or as little as you need to be.
