Christy,
Yes, sensibly means low carbs whenever possible. I try to make healthy choices 90% of the time..but there is the occasional splurge. I don't deny myself anything I just keep everything in perspective with smaller portions and excerise a lot.
I was on Met (regular/1500) before my son was born with excellent results. I had lost about 15 pounds and had all my labs looking great. I got my fasting insulin down to about 7 and conceived naturally.
After my son was born the doctor put me on XR (1500) which I have been on almost a year. I think it is just interesting that my fasting insulin is back at 14 with the same dosage as before. The only differences I know of are 1. XR vs regular met 2. I'm working out more 3. my diet is better and 4. seeing the undissolved pills. It doesn't make sense!
I'm considering asking my primary care physican to override the endo and put me back on regular met for 6 months to see what my labs do. I know it worked in the past...what do you think?
Thanks for all your insight.
