I have never been diagnosed with ANY diabetic condition but have consistently had a BMI of 33 or better. I'm 5' 5" and weighed a tremendous 203lbs. Since following this advice I now weigh 172 and falling. I recommend this site, and article to everyone I meet that is battleing with weight loss. Thank you, Suzy. I owe you so much!

We look at glucose levels in the blood and treat with insulin, not knowing the actual insulin to glucose ratio in the blood. Maybe an idea for a new glucometer that can give both insulin level and glucose numbers along with the ratio? If the patient already has an elevated insulin level along with an elevated glucose in the blood, are we doing more harm by administering more insulin to increase the ratio?

I am determined to get my high blood glucose readings under control. I believe your statements about needing to consider a patient's insulin level in making determinations about their diabetes and plan of treatment for their diabetes. My levels are out of control and doctors push me to see diabetes doctors who want to give me a pump and/or more medicine - medicins which I feel could hurt me further; and my concerns for my liver, kidneys and heart are ignored. I have Stage III pulmonary sarcoidosis. With all these conditions I have managed to keep myself "stable". (I have many other diagnosed ailments, which my family and I deal with.) But I am almost at my wits end. I hurt all the time, all over, and I am allergic to most prescription pain meds. So, these are just my thoughts. I hope my thoughts will encourage you to continue your good deeds. I support your column and books with enthusiasm. thank you for your article and web site, specifically on this high insulin level.

Through diet changes and the use of Gymnema Sylvestre herb, have reduced long acting fake human insulin from 20 IU's, daily to 6 IU's over past 6 months... stuck at 6 units & throwing most of every vial away at 28 days.. no insurance, either. Bummer! Have pretty normal glucose readings... but, egads! .. wonder what my serum insulin levels have been all these years??!!
