Guest guest Posted March 21, 2001 Report Share Posted March 21, 2001 i am new to the list. have been diagnosed for 10 years with type 2. was on glucotrol xl 20mgs. last year have not been good about testing. when i went in for physical my dr. said i was at 278. she put me on amaryl 8 mgs daily. i am now testing between 190 and 230. am trying to watch carbs and have started exercising. however my dr. is not pleased with the high readings. she wants me to go on insulin or see a specialist, an endocrinologist(sp?). probably a myth but i have thought if i go on insulin i will gain more weight and will not be able to get off insulin. dr. said that liver function tests keeps me from going on other diabetes oral meds. any help appreciated. also is there any place on the web that gives a good list of carbohydrates to stay away from without having to buy a book? Thanks..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
