Get a new doctor.I hope you are seeing an endocrinologist as normal GPs really aren’t that knowledgeable about diabetes.
If you are at the stage of losing weight (called ketoacidosis) then you need treatment with insulin asap.
If you are also insulin resistant you may have no choice but to go on pills – you said so yourself that diet and exercise just isn’t working. Doesn’t matter how much insulin you pump into your body if you are insulin resistant – it still cant use it. Although I think there is a type of insulin that is used for t2, called byetta or something. Ask your dr about that.

Its very hard to cut carbs altogether from your diet; if you dont get enough, your body will convert protein into carbs. I really think you should seriously reconsider your stance on pills; at least till you can it undercontrol. Anyway, make an appt with a new endo right away!

I kinda know where you are coming from. I have 4 diabetics in my family. Two of them went blind in one eye. My brother developed it when he was about 12. He had a kidney transplant a few years ago. Now he is looking to get a pancreas transplant. I think the best thing to do is do a google search to find a good diet for diabetics. Not all carbs are bad. Definitely stay away from the white refined bread and pasta. There are a lot of multigrain and whole wheat products out there. I think my Mom and siblings lay low with alcohol and desserts. But, they all do take insulin, so they pretty much eat everything else. My mother developed it in her 50′s. She started with pills, but said her tongue felt weird. So they put her on insulin. Just try to check out some sites and get some different ideas. The foods that they list that you don’t like, replace them with something else. Not all fats are bad for you either. Saturated are definitely the worse. You might make out well shopping in the organic and healthy food section at the supermarket. Here is 1 website for you to try, and there are lots more. I typed "eating plan for diabetics" and all kinds of things came up. There is also a site for supplements that help lower blood sugar. Keep your head up.

Please read this site then contact me privately! http://www.phlaunt.com/diabetes

Insulin is the fat maker hormone! If not needed it turns all the excess carbs into fats to float around in the blood system and clog our arteries, NOT the cholesterol that we are told by big pharma!! Also fats are our friends! they prevent us from feeling as hungry as we would otherwise while restricting our food plans so much.

Being 47 and still afraid of veggies is baloney!! get over it or take a heaping helping of vitamin and mineral and fiber supplements.

Your DAFNE is for feather brains! You learn to count carb grams and figure out how much insulin you actually need to cover them and jab yourself.

Actually you are not in compliance now! why would you think the first line of defence is fast acting insulin? you need to try the Metformin, then the long acting insulin then add the fast acting. That is the 21st century methodology.

I mostly eat red meats! Not that nasty fish or chicken! but I do happen to like veggies and fruits.
and by the way: all plant source foods are carb laden, some more than others, but have rather high carb grams in each of them.

try some hypnosis to get over your aversion to green leafy and tomatoes!!!

at least that is what they tell me for my smoking.

Take the Metformin offered, I take

Natural Diabetes Cures

First of all, I would like to make a disclaimer. There is no known cure for diabetes and I am not suggesting that there is one.
However, with that said, there is a ton of research and documentation on various nutrients, supplements and even diet changes that can benefit and help if you have diabetes.
Although there may not be a "cure" there are things that you can do to improve the condition, depending on the type of diabetes that you have and how severe it is.
Obviously there are certain food to avoid altogether if you really want to do your body good. These include refined sugar products such as candy, ice cream, cakes, cookies, pies, pastries, soda, jam and the like.
Even natural sweeteners like honey, maple syrup and molasses should be used sparingly.
Drink plenty of water if you can and try and consume 8 glasses of pure water daily. An alkaline diet is best including lots of fresh vegetables, especially raw vegetables and salads. You can eat as much of theses healthy foods as you like as cooked foods tend to cause more of a rise of glucose in the body than do raw fruits and vegetables.
Eat plenty of fruits such as grapefruit, bananas, granny smith apples, figs, cranberry, blackberry, pomegranate, kiwi and citrus fruits.
Eating a high fiber diet is ideal since it lowers the body's need for insulin. Make sure you are including foods such as barley, oatmeal, almond meal, dried beans, kidney beans, cooked black beans, peas, cereals and chickpeas in your daily diet.
It is extremely important to monitor your glucose level if you are a diabetic or have pre-diabetes symptoms. Here is a guide that will help you measure the proper levels:

Upon waking up (and before breakfast), your levels should be between 80 and 120. This is considered to be a healthy range.

Before meals your levels should also be between 80 and 120.

Two hours after you eat meals, your levels should be 170 or less.

Before lunch, it should drop back down to 80-120.

Before you go to bed, it is ideal to be between 100 and 140.

At 3am (while sleeping), it is ideal to be between 70 and 110.

While fasting, it is ideal that you stay in the 70 to 100 range.
