Where are the Insulite Girls?!?

Jaxanne · 05-30-2006, 08:20 PM

Hey everybody- I know there are various threads about Insulite, but I wanted to start one specifically for the girls taking Insulite. I LOVE this stuff! I had ordered it over six months ago and never started it. So I finally started last week at half the normal dose (just to get adjusted to it), and I feel great! I am normally so tired and lazy, but since this stuff I have felt wonderful. I am eating better and exercising, too. And I started my period today. I have also lost three pounds since last week. Please let me know your progress.

I started insulite 3 weeks ago & I feel so much better. I am in a better mood & I'm not hungry all the time. I haven't started my period yet, but since I normally don't have one unless induced it may take a while. I have lost 3 pounds & do have more energy. I love this stuff too!!! I am taking the full dose & all the pills don't bother me at all. I just ordered more last night. I also noticed I'm not sleeping as much & sleep better.

Thanks for starting this thread!!

Thanks for replying! My AF is infrequent w/o BCP, so I was really excited to see her. I have been sleeping better, also. Of course, I still have to get up to pee twice during the night, but other than that sleep has been great. I haven't felt the need to sleep 12 - 16 hours a day!

I'm really anxious to hear from anyone else using Insulite. I have been researching it and thinking about it for a few months and am ready to try it. I've gained about 15lbs this year -- mostly from stress eating -- but now the stress is gone and the weight isn't! I'm tired, unmotivated, and way too heavy. I just want something that will help me feel better. Please let me know how it has worked for you!

Thanks!

Nashville- I am pre-diabetic but since taking this stuff my blood sugar has been great. My fasting has been around 76-80. And my 1-hour level after eating carbs has stayed under 120. I know I was about to be diagnosed diabetic as soon as I took the 3-hour glucose tolerance test for the doctor, but I kept putting it off because I wanted to try to control it myself. I did my own (make-shift) test at home (before Insulite) and my sugar went over 200! But since taking Insulite it has been great. I watch what I eat, 95% of the time, too. But last night we had Chinese so I was dreading checking my sugar, but it was only 106 an hour later!

Anyway, I could easily sleep 14 hours a day. But now I average about 9, and I sleep soundly. I just feel so much better. It is hard remembering all of the pills, but I'm getting used to it. I don't know if this stuff will work for you or not, but I love it! I took metformin a few years ago and I hated it. It made me so sick to my stomach and I never noticed any more energy. Of course, I only took it for two months so maybe it didn't have enough time. And some of the cysters swear by it, so I don't know.

I specifically came on this site to try and find some people taking Insulite!
I just started taking it last week, although I haven't been taking the GlucX (6 caps between meals).
I would love to hear how this is working for others too.
I am also easing my way into the South Beach Diet.

I also just started taking insulite. I'm interested in finding out how it has worked for others. Not much else has worked for me, except rezulin which was pulled from the market several years ago.

I have been consistently taking the Insulite for a little over a week now. The only thing I am NOT consistent at is taking the 12 caps of GlucX per day. I would love to keep tabs on how everyone is doing.

I am interested in Insulite, I want to read how it is helping you all. Do you think it would help get rid of Candida?

what's the longest someone has been taking this?

Jaxanne · 06-07-2006, 07:27 AM

I just started a couple of weeks ago, but I already have gotten my period and lost a few pounds. But the most amazing thing has been my blood sugar. I ate like crap this past week-end but the highest my blood sugar went was 106! Yesterday, an hour after eating it was only 72! And I had potato chips and a hamburger bun! But now I'm worried it is too low. I mean I felt fine, but shouldn't it normally go higher? Today I checked it after eating chips and crackers- pure carbs, no fat or protein with it- and it only went up to 94. Any other time it would have went anywhere from 160 - 200. I guess this is a good thing. Oh, and I am only taking half the recommended dosage.

I'm glad that so many people are posting about this now. I haven't had my sugar checked in quite a while. It used to be consistently around 90 which the nurse told me was low to average. I want to eventually ttc, and am not doing anything to prevent it right now. I'm just really tired of having to buy plus sized clothes. I may try insulite. Its great to hear that some of you are having good results from it!

I have an entire unopened box of Insulite. The only reason I stopped taking it is because of financial reasons, not because it didn't work. I would like to sell it for a little less than the Insulite price, if anyone is interested.

sds1arm2 · 06-10-2006, 02:15 PM

Has anyone noticed headaches while taking Insulite?
I have been taking it for close to 2 weeks now and have had frequent headaches this last week.
Just curious.

melissa6 · 06-10-2006, 05:36 PM

I have been taking it for a week and haven't had any headaches. The only thing I have noticed is some heartburn. It could be something I'm eating though.
