He uses Actrapid and Actraphane insulins. They have no A1c's. He calls all the docs Quacks. I'll pass on some of your post. Thanks Jan Joan,

How's it going? I'm back in school, so I'll keep this short...have papers to write!!! convert pounds to kilograms 2.2 lbs = 1 kilogram - good old metric system which most of the rest of the world uses....He's probably using NPH & regular and if he's as chunky as me - difference is I'm short! Insulin resistance is the name of the game. He should have his md do a C-peptide, fructosamine level, and HgA1C initially. Probably needs to be on Humalog to break the resistance too, or he might do well on glucophage which can help to open receptor sites on the cells. C-peptide to see if he's producing any insulin Fructosamine to see what current control over the last 2-4 weeks HgA1C for control over the last 3 months.... Hope that helps! Later, Joan:))) Hi Jan!
