D every morning,.

Now my blood levels were under control with the meds I take but I felt terrible, tired and no desires to go out and do the things I like. After I started eating healthy my energy level started to increase and I began to feel a change within a week, I've been doing this for a month and i feel a lot better, I was wanting to loose 20 pounds but it just wouldn't come off, now I've lost 7 pounds and it's slowly but steadily coming off.
My blood sugar levels have dropped also even though they were in range with meds now it looks like i will be able to get off one of the pills altogether as long as i keep eating this way.

It's tough to eat healthy when everyone around you eats junk food but it's worth it for your health, a good friend passed away from the complications of diabetes, he found out to late he had it, he lost his legs, eye sight and slowly his life, it was a sad way to go and he suffered so much. That was what inspired me to step it up a notch, I don't want to go that way.

please try to eat healthy my friends

Do I ever agree with you about the difficulty of being around people that eat junk food. I can't seem to get away from people like that, and I am so tired of it. Its bad enough I have to spend that much time with them, I also have to listen to them talk about how healthy they are.

Unless the insulin comes from China and in reality is just water..

You will not lower your glucose level staying at such large caloric intake. That you go to gym, also, means nothing. What counts is how much calories you burn. I am professionally working with diabetics daily, and I know them very well. They overeat, underexercise, and lost realistic grasp on their lifestyle. Unfortunately, it is a side effect of diabetes. It adversely impacts cognitive abilities.

So, what you want to do, instead of tripling your insulin, is to reduce your caloric intake by 3 and go down to 1000-1500 calories a day. Oh have my word, you are not going to die.
You have to completely revamp your diet, and eat ONLY low calories foods and stay away from anything that is sweet, has flour products, fats, and is rich in carbs. You should switch to purified water only. Basically, you should be eating vegetables, beans, grains, selective fruits, and little to none meat, with fish being best alternative. You should COOK your own food, so that there is no additives in it. You should have 4 portions a day, period, then put lock on fridge and chain yourself to something heavy.
You should start REAL exercise routine, one that makes you sweat the fat out, and reduce your fluid intake.

NO ONE HAS EVER GAINED WEIGHT, IF CALORIC INTAKE IS LESS THAN CALORIES SPENT. NO ONE. IT IS PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE. AND STOP LYING TO YOURSELF. YOU OVEREAT AND HOPE THAT MAGIC PILL WILL FIX YOUR HEALTH. NOT GONNA HAPPEN.
