I'm Dessa. I just joined the fatsecret.com site today and would like to lose some weight. Is anyone insulin dependent?

Hey Dessa. I joined yesterday and yes I am insulin dependent. I was diagnosed in 1985 with type 2 but have been insulin dependent for the past 4 years. Guess the old pancreas finally wore out. Surprised(
My mission statement: I will not run away from my dreams because of fear of what might happen. I will have faith that no matter what comes my way that with God...all things are possible...I can overcome.
I will strive for peace and joy in all my relationships. I will strive to live a healthy lifestyle. I will strive to be considerate and humble with others. I will strive to live everyday with a grateful/thankful heart. I will try to live in the moments of my life...knowing very well that all of us are only a breath away from eternity.
My name is Jo...just jo. Surprised)

I've been insulin dependent for about 5 years. Like JJ my pancreas finally fizzled. Have to work harder each year just to maintain the same numbers. Good luck. Weight loss is that much tougher when your body won't self regulate the insulin levels!

I have been insulin dependant since August 16, 2012. It has been a rough road with trying to regulate my meds & such, but I think we FINALLY have it to where it needs to be...hopefully. My #'s fluctuate a lot, but my dr just increased my metformin, so hopefully that will help. Good Luck for everyone who is trying to lose weight and being insulin dependant...it is harder than others.
