I was diagnosed about 6 months ago. mine is caused by a slow pancreas that doesnt produce enough insulin. i take avandamet three times a day and watch my diet. diet drinks and rarely a real mt dew.
I check my glucose levels about twice a day now . i have been stable for a while and my a1c levels are normal. i went from a 13.6 to a 7.3 . blood sugar levels were 400+ range now average 100.

Don't stop living and don't let the shock get to you . just stay on top of it and keep going.

There is hope for us . new med's are being developed all the time and soon i'll bet they will have it beat.
thanks to new meds i can just take pills no shots. years ago i would have been on the shots .
hey they even have new glucometers that read from your skin. no more lance jabs!
just don't stop!
