I've been a diabetic for 35 yrs. I have been pretty true to following all the instructions of my dr. but I can not seem to get my A1c below 7.5 . I am about 50lbs heaver than I should be and can't seem to lose any weight. I am so tired of counting carbs and restricting what I eat I just want to chuck it all. Any suggestions from anyone????
Would an insulin pump be any help to me?
I am considering asking my dr about it but don't have enough information about it.
Thanks for any input you have.

I read the report about the study done. I just do not feel it is an accurate representative of a person's average blood glucose. Only testing 507 people to me does not constitute a real study of any significance. Also the average testing came out to just over 5 times a day. I would much rather stay with the a1c and hopefully a meters will start giving 90 day averages and not just 30 day averages.
I agree with you. I`m also waundering how closely they monitered their eating. 90 days? Wow! Wouldn`t that be get?
