"I appreciate the words of encouragement. I am going to stay on it, but you are right it is a pain to prepare and the needle is huge. Can't wait for the pen!! Also, so far I feel fine since I took the shot yesterday."

"She'll, I'm well into this now. It is working! With a minimum of nausea. It is much more tolerable to take and my blood glucose is back to controlled levels. Once a week is great too. It did take a bit longer to kick in than advertised, so…"

Sorry it took me so long to reply. My most recent A1C was 6.0, it thought it was awesome. I has been higher. I really don't do anything to lower it besides take my metformin everyday...lol :) Take care.

hi, Carl, I was just reading your blog, and I have a few suggestions. I'm type 1 but it's the same thing, we have to keep motivated to test, exercise, eat right, and stay positive. I don't think you can tackle everything at once, but if you start with a few baby steps, I think when you begin to see some improvements, you can keep it up. Keep in touch here, I find TuD to be a real help for me to do what I have to do.
