You are welcome, and don't be so hard on yourself. You have only been on Atkins 5 1/2 weeks and have already reduced your insulin 65%! You are still taking other meds that impact weight loss. Your BP looks good too...check out this info on alternate ways to improve. http://www.dietdoctor.com/blood-pressure Give your body time to heal and for whatever plan you choose time to work. (Not that I oppose zero-carb, 20g is about there )
