last year in april (when i started to treat my ir aggressively) it was ... 33 ...
my endo said it was one of the highest counts she's ever seen in someone my age (i'm 27 and need to loose about 20kg's but it's not like i'm HUGE), then after treating it for 6 months i got it down to 22!!
But i've been neglecting my health for +- 8 months now, so i'm sure it's back to the 30's again
i know it needs to be under between 4 and 9 so i've got a loooooooooooooong way to go.
I'm getting married on Dec 2 '06 (which is lovely and warm in south africa) and i promised myself that i would NOT get married while my insulin levels were so severely elevated..... {{HUGE sigh}} so i gues i've got my work cut out for me.

~I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me at once~
my insulin hasn't been checked since november of 2004 to my knowledge and when it was checked it was 216 ... i havent had a hormone workup since :| Surely it's improved by now though but I don't know what it is

At my last check it was 47.8 that was august 2004. Diagnosed with diabetes the next month. YUCKY! I can't get it down...even with the pregnancy.

Mine was at 18 when I got tested. What is a good number for it to be at?
My dr said best for it to below 10. Mine was in the 30s before metformin. Last time it was test was around 15

I got mine to go down from 16 to 14 after low carbing...I'm not on Metformin because I'm allergic to it...the only thing I have it losing weight...I hope this helps me out.
