Finally gotten to a point where my blood glucose is high enough that insulin is unavoidable (approx. 6 times the normal amount).
I have a history of eating disorders but have been (Sober? In remission? Whatever you call it) for three years.
My normal weight is around 114lbs. After a week on 10 units of insulin a day, I was 116lbs and I've been on 14 units a day for a little over 2 weeks now and am 121lbs.
This is really concerning me as I've been deliberately eating LESS than normal* and 14 units is still a fairly low amount and is likely to keep being increased slowly for a while.
*For anyone who doesn't know, the reason your blood sugar is SO high is because your body cannot "use" the carbs/sugar you eat. This also means that you don't absorb the CALORIES you eat from any sugar or carbs.
