>>dosing 10-7.5-5. What dose should I start

to wean with?<<

I would start with 7.5 - 7.5 - 5

then in a couple weeks go to

7.5 - 5 - 5

then

7.5 - 5 - 2.5

then

5 - 5 - 2.5

5 - 2.5 - 2.5

2.5 - 2.5 - 2.5

drop last dose

done.

Nope, I ma SO tired of diets and reading about them! I have been

doieting pretty much for the last 33 years since my first hypo diagnosis

Turns out I eat pretty durn well, and now since the Diabetes doagnosis I

have perfected my diet for me. The weight is slowly beginning to come

off and things are beginning to lewvel off with my metabolism.

Metabolism was my DIETING problem. Didn;t matter what or hoe much I ate

or didn;t eat, when metabolism is not right the diet won;t work.

I verifed via saliva testing in Oct. 2006 that I was at stage 4. I

immediately started on HC with the ramp up schedule on the STTM

website. I think I've been at 22.5 for about a year now.

Absolutely true! And starvation dieting lowers the metabolism

further...vicious circle. I also wonder if too much dieting doesn't

starve the adrenals of protein. I dieted over half my life, and kept my

weight down with bulimia.(really a starvation diet!). No wonder I'm so

messed up in everything. It is a real wonder why I'm not diabetic

instead of just very hypoglycemic.
