worst kind of diabetes
I belive like Dave in the preceeding comment about the undetected diabetes. If it isn't caught in time or if the person is in denial and the complications grow faster. When you control the problem ...

I should be testing HOW many times?

Lantus users please stand up and shout
I started out taking 70 units three times a day, then 70 morning and 70 at bed time. But now my Endo has me taking 70 each morning and 23 units at bed time. I hope finally the changing will stop but as we all know, there are always ups and downs with diabetes. Also there are new medications, insulins and the way we use each one.

- Hi, thanks! I definitely have Washington in my sights but not for 3 years or so. It probably be a good idea to make a trip out there first. I have 2 friends in Seattle and a cousin in Bremerton. My daughter is looking at WWU. I want to be close but not too close. haha! Maybe Sequim? Or..I don't know. I wasn't really sure where to look. What are your suggestions?

Is that sick, or what?? Killing a dog because of a nose problem. Is it really a problem or is it aesthetic? Breeders should pay more attention to what they are doing and then these problems may not happen at all. I couldn't kill a puppy!!!
Well, it has gone past the point of "healing quick." I've been at this since April 29 and still no healing. Oh well, maybe a little later. Siiiiiiiiigggggggghhhhhh!

Virgil Elvin Bowman Jr. said… - Is Cymbalta for depression? Once upon a time I was on anti-depressants; eventually, though, I was dxd with bi-polar disorder. It made a huge difference but still now during depressive episodes it is very hard to cope with both these Ds at once, isn't it. I wish you more time out- and-about and as many feel good days as you can get. We all need them. keep enjoying your quick fall; it'll be a hundred below in the blink of an eye! Take care, friend.
