Being worried about failing combined with someone who is not supportive/going to actively prove their point seems like a bad combo. I can't speak to insulin resistance but it sounds like you've made progress over making some incremental changes. In our culture we are conditioned to expect an immediate result right now and overlook the benefit of allowing ourselves to going through a positive struggle. It could help to take some of the pressure off of yourself to get the end result so quickly. In my experience, regaining health is a function of making small changes that will have an impact on how you feel and then create positive signaling to keep you moving in that direction.
You can do this!

Just saw your comment about husband being on board. That's so great that he is having a change of mind.

Thank you for the reply! I am currently on day 5 of my wfpb journey and my blood sugars, while still high, are coming down! I am really happy with the results so far. Hopefully they continue to fall into a normal range. I definitely did not expect an overnight miracle, lol! I was just hoping that after 2 weeks I would see improvement, but it happened much faster than that, so I'm thrilled. Now comes the process of allowing my body to get rid of toxins and heal. It may take months, but at least I'm moving on the right direction now!

I am eating whole food that is plant-based, that I've found is the healthiest way to eat, helping for many issues and against health problems, diabetes included. See www.forksoverknives.com.

Keto is really an unproven diet. Keto can lead to cancer. People on it may feel good in the short run but in the long run it may kill them. You have to cleanse yourself first when there may be stomach issues. Use lightly steamed veggies at first. Some people need a juice cleanse or a master cleanse.

I really make a point to keep the list of processed items very short. Processed food items are where possible surprise ingredients from used animals is so likely, the ones used have to be checked carefully. Going vegan is with hard lessons in that. So I use salsa, and hummus, that can go with my whole grain products, and plant-based milks, and Complete protein cookies, and otherwise just whole food items mainly from produce, and seasonings. And I use organic pumpkin seeds that are really plant-based, I use a few nuts other than peanuts that I don't eat now.
