Sourdaisy,

I know I've had my glucose checked, but I'm not sure about the insulin levels. I'm going to ask next week at my doc appt. Nevertheless I've tried very hard to lose weight. I exercise, horseback ride, rollerblading, eat very moderately. I find all I have to do is actually eat regular meals and I start gaining weight. I'm not talking big high calorie meals just healthy food with moderate portions. So the glucphage induced weight loss has been a welcome relief along with the loss of cravings for sweets and I am following somewhat of a lowcarb diet. Thanks for the encouragement and I'll leave it at that.
