What would cause my Insulin not to be effective?

I love how all the ATOT docs come out of the woodwork to say that Funboy is taking too many meds without even seeing his chart.

So where did you guys go to medical school? Took a home study course am I right?

2 small steaks for lunch without eating breakfast yet is going to do this

Its actually because Im disabled and cant get around for shit or exercise that has made me balloon to 417

They have me scheduled for an emergency gastric bypass so I will be getting that done soon, and then I may not have to shoot up or take pills anymore at all.

While I'm sure my disabilty pales when compared to yours, (based on your previous posts/threads) I DO understand how the lack of exercise affects you. I ballooned from about 210 to about 275 when I got hurt...before I started doing SOMETHING about it. (I'm still over 250) I also can't do shit for exercise...even enough walking to make a difference, BUT, YOU control how much you put in your mouth. NO, unlike the majority of ATOT, I don't think you should starve yourself...nor deny yourself the foods you love, but you CAN eat healthier and limit how much of the bad food you eat. Gettiong yourself down to a healthier weight MIGHT help with many of the health issues you're dealing with.
Gastric bypasses can work...or not. Some folks adapt to the major change in diet that's required, other people just can't do it, while still others fall into continually failing health as a result.

How about eating a single turkey sandwich instead of two steaks for lunch?

Gastric bypass surgery also has it's issues.

i don't know if it has been mentioned. i really should read the thread some good info here (i take metformin 2x a day and a ton of other s hit..i am kinda worried about some of them and my doctor keeps saying its fine..sigh anyway).

A friend of mine who is a type 2 and does injections got a vile of insulin that just didn't work. come to find out the batch was bad.

Funboy: with me having hips (need both replaced but doctors want to wait because "quality of life" after getting them would be lower. bah) legs, and back im not the most mobile person either. BUT i found walking in a pool is great excercise. The person who told me about it could bearly walk and close to 325 lbs (at 5'5). he lost a lot of it just walking in a pool 2x a week for a year.

is it sad i like threads like this? i know im not the only one who is physically not perfect (but my spelling is!..yeah..) but still surviving.

I would be taking Chromium as a type II diabetes since Chromium helps with regulating your blood sugar.

I wouldn't. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium#Biological_role

It might play a role, but not nearly as much as insulin or exercise. And it says in trace amounts, suggesting that whatever you get in your diet would be more than enough.
