      From insanadee March 25

      I hope my username doesn't offend you. I'm not trying to make fun of mental health issues in ANY way, I simply use humor to lesson my own pain and suffering. I hope you aren't upset by it! If it's a simple matter of not understanding what it means, then it's supposed to be "insanity". Which, is where I live, population ONE (if you get my meaning). Hope this helps and finds you well and happy. Smiles, insanadee

      Thanks. It IS hard...especially when my sugars are running high. Thanks for the encouragement. I am doing this thing COLD TURKEY, as they say. So far, so good. 6 days and counting... -JeAndRo

      I have been off of Byetta for just about a month now. Sugars can creep up in the morning, sometimes, but I try to exercise before bed and that helps. I check my sugars 3-4 times a day. This morning it was 96. YAY! My last HA1C test was last month on the 5th, and it was 5.6% I have more labs on April 21st to see what's happening then. Let's hope I don't need the meds! Good to have you on the "friends" list. Have a wonderful day! Be well and happy. -JeAndRo

    • Close Diabetes Type 2

      I have diabetes since 1998. I have been fighting this disease with all my strength. I do believe that I have a special type of diabetes called LADA, but here in USA is not recognized.

      Treatments

      Dietary Modification Working / Worked
      Low Carb is working wonders.
      Humalog Working / Worked
      It works well.
      Lantus Working / Worked
      I begged my doctor to let me try lantus since I was waking up with high blood sugar all the time. It made a big difference.
      Metformin Working / Worked
      It used to work well for about 8 years. Now I have to use insuline.

    • Close Diabetes Type 1

      I have diabetes since ten years ago.I discovered it when I went into a diabetic coma: my HA1c was 12.9.I began using up to 50 units a day of NPH and 1000mg of metformin.I began exercising and eating low to near zero carbohydrates. In this way in six months I reduced my insulin to ZERO. I was still taking metformin. Last year I began to take insulin (Lispro) for a total of 15 units a day because my HA1c was 7.8 and my blood sugar had peaks of 350. 3 Months ago I added 25 units of Lantus.

      Treatments

      Diabetic Diet Working / Worked

      Lantus Working / Worked
