As you all know, I'm diabetic.  I've been diabetic since I was 25 when one day a switch just turned off inside me and I started getting sicker.  I produced insulin before that day and stopped producing insulin on that day.  So for the last 7 years I've had to take insulin to survive.  Since I came down with this, my resistance to insulin has steadily increased to the point where as of 2 weeks ago I would have to take 50 units of Novalog minimum for every meal.  Novalog is my fast acting-insulin that I take when I eat.  I also take 200 units daily of Lantus which is the slow acting insulin that lasts the entire day and gives me a steady supply of energy.  Well last week, I attempted to fast for 2 days. A liquids only fast where I wouldn't eat any solid food unless it was in a soup or something.  I failed miserably the first day (Monday) but I succeeded fasting on the second day.

Since that day I've been checking my sugars and eating as usual as I perceive it, however...I have not had to take as much insulin.  Not nearly the amount of insulin that I normally go through.  I would usually go through a bottle of insulin in about a week and I'm working on 2 weeks into this bottle without it even half gone this time.   I've been having to worry about hypoglycemic reactions lately rather than hyper ones.  This is a miracle in my eyes.  And I am still continually amazed every time I look at my sugar levels. 

When I got home today I was at 65 for my sugar levels!  I haven't seen a sugar level over 160 for 10 days.  Thank you lord and praise you!

With love and with amazement.
