Ok so I'm trying to take "babysteps" I started by checking my blood sugars (which I haven't done i months) and as I suspected they were bad 272 that was at bed time, fasting in the morning was 250, took Januvia ate breakfast, 254. Was feeling like my sugars were low by the time afternoon rolled around, it was 156. I guess my body is so used to having highg sugars that it thought 156 was low. I didn't do good today at all though. Haven't checked my sugars (i'm afraid to) we are running low on foo… Continue

hi cheryl,
we have a few people here who have problems with metformin. i sure hope tht things work out for you insurance wise. it's really tough without it, when the income is low. i'll be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Welcome to the community, Cheryl. I hope we can help support you and help you commit to the changes you wish were faster in coming. This network here - it's hard to explain - I try to describe it to people and I don't think they know what it's like to find people who really get this side of you, the diabetic side. I've had Type 1 for 19 years now. It's hard not to let it get you down some days. But we're here for you, Cheryl. About 7,000 of us!
