Whirlygig replied to Chell's discussion 'I got a question about metformin if that's alright' in the group LADA Diabetics"Yup, I believe it is automatic. Children also are automatic. Congrats on the baby!"
Chell replied to Chell's discussion 'I got a question about metformin if that's alright' in the group LADA Diabetics"I actually just found out I was pregnant last night.. I think we are going to automatically qualify for the expedited OHP which will be very nice considering we don't have any kind of coverage. Thank you very much though Whirlygig. I…"
Whirlygig replied to Chell's discussion 'I got a question about metformin if that's alright' in the group LADA Diabetics"Hi Chell,
Welcome to Oregon. Go online and get the lottery form for OHP. Unless you are already on disability there is a waiting list. You register for the lottery and when they have funds they draw a few names. You could get drawn right away or it…"
Chell replied to Chell's discussion 'I got a question about metformin if that's alright' in the group LADA Diabetics"That's interesting. Thanks for the post. It did seem pointless to take something that is doing nothing for me except for the cancer thing (that may not really exist). ╯.╰ it's a lot of new things to take in. Thanks a lot for your help…"
JaninaWalker replied to Chell's discussion 'I got a question about metformin if that's alright' in the group LADA Diabetics"I'm a T1 whose GP suggested it 11 years ago, but my endo who is also a T1, like me, said NO keep it simple, and only use two types of insulin. And since then I did a LOT of research into it for another person in 2008, classed as a T2, and I…"

I got a question about metformin if that's alright
I feel I probably need to give a bit a background on the question for it to make sense. Please bear with me. I'll try to keep it short.I was diagnosed with diabetes last March when I was in the hospital for a week with DKA. I have a pretty strong fear when it comes to needles so it was a mess.. I guess it's still a mess. They didn't know which diabetes I had so they just had me on metformin. My numbers were going really high even though I was working out and cutting my carbs. It took 6 months…See More

Chell replied to Manny Hernandez's discussion 'A free eBook to help you on your 1st year with diabetes'"Wow, good stuff. It's been hard for me to get past that whole media thing of this being all my fault. We as American's (or at least the people around here) are not very nice to diabetics. Even my closest friends and family have given me…"
Chell replied to Mikey's discussion 'Changing needles on your pen.' in the group Insulin Pen Users"Heh, I do it every time. I'm still new to all of this so it may be me being to worrisome, but my doctor freaked me out by showing me these pictures of fibrocollagenous (is this the right word/spelling) cases. He said it happens if you…"
Chell replied to Scott Berger's discussion 'Stinging from injection of humalog?' in the group Insulin Pen Users"It stings pretty bad for me sometimes too. I also get it with Lantus. I asked my endo and he said it's just gonna happen sometimes when I hit a nerve spot. He thought it shouldn't be "that" bad but sometimes it's quite…"
