Mighty Favog Posted May 31, 2019 Author Share Posted May 31, 2019 I use such a pen for my long acting Lantis (Basaglar). Yes, the needles are a smaller guage but I had to insist on a longer needle to make sure it doesn't come out of the hole I just made.

Moderators dtel Posted May 31, 2019 Moderators Share Posted May 31, 2019 I'm less than 6 months away from the oldest living male in my family. I know, I told my sister the other day she needs to start checking my sugar occasionally. But the biscuits are good..........I know I need to go back on my diet again, there was no use before pilgrimage and since then we have had 2 weeks of people visiting and I cooked for them. But nothing planned until 2 days in July then in August, I need to get back on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel Posted May 31, 2019 Moderators Share Posted May 31, 2019 I did it a few years ago, went from 285 to 234, then kind of got away from it and over the next few years and went to 260 which I am now. I did feel alot better which is why I want to do it again, it was not hard at all, more like I should have been eating really. It is eating 6 times a day just not as much, I was never hungry and was losing 2-3 or more pounds a week, no exercise. If we went out to eat I ate whatever I wanted, or if we just felt like eating something one night we did, it still worked. To me, the goal was to eat better not to torture ourselves. I was never hungry doing this and felt better and had more energy after the first week which helped me stick with it. The first thing I realized was how bad it makes you feel when you overeat regularly. They say lean protein but I used any kind of meat, they say potatoes or rice but I used anything that was carbs except white bread. I don't remember what the name of this diet was, something the wife ordered a copy of online? Breakfast 4 egg whites 1 cup of fruit...............I ate a banana instead and also a couple of eggs, not just the whites. Mid-morning 4 oz of protein 1/2 cup of fruit. lunch 4oz protein 1 cup rice (or carbs) 1 cup of vegetables. Mid-afternoon 4 oz protein 1/2 cup of carbs Dinner 4oz protein 1 cup carbs 1-2 cups of vegetables. Later if you get hungry you can have berries or some type of vegetables Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
