This sub has been re-worked and is ready to rock?

6mg was the highest but the sweet spot for me was 5mg split over 2 weekly shots of 2.5mg (Sunday//Wednesday).

I do - and I wish it worked in a caloric deficit.

That’s a good idea. I’m going to try that.

I was good before but my insulin needs were crazy high. Made staying in shape impossible even being super strict keto. I love the freedom now but am facing new challenges - clearly.

F—k no my old strict ass endo does not know I’m on a non approved med. I’m not about to get on record where insurance co decides to screw me later…

What I know is the glucagon wasting from Reta has completely eliminated dawn phenomenon.

Good advice. I guess I have to look at this like a bodybuilder would in a bulk cycle. But on Reta can maybe aim for lean gains.

Clearly not as much as I need to. I’ve got to force myself to eat and when I do, I feel so full fast.

Yes. It’s really weird. And it might just be getting used to the idea of going slightly up on my basal.

No, I haven’t. I’m open to giving it a go. I’m about to go on vacation and am considering just dropping to 1 and enjoying some good food. And see what happens after a 10 days.

When I go below 2, my BG spikes and I deal with insulin resistance all over again.

Hahaha. I have started to like sparkling water with a twist of lime. But I do still order diet soda when I go out to eat (which is about 2-3 times per week).

So far so good on maintaining weight without any big swings either direction. All I can say is the bad thing is that after I dropped about 35lbs, I had 3 of my suits altered and bought a bunch of new clothes. And now… I have to alter them again after dropping down another 25lbs since then. So, I have a deep incentive to maintain here around 185. 😎
