I am glad things are going well! As for the insulin, it sucks, but at least it will help you keep things under control. My grandpa had diabetes and was on insulin. When my brother and I were little, he made us say "Ouch!" for him whenever he gave himself a needle, so he wouldn't have to lol.

I'm jealous that your spring has arrived! We have had a few nice days where we could go out without a jacket, but then in between we are getting pouring rain and even snow again! Mother nature can't make up her mind.

Diana, I know you hate taking the insulin, but it really does regulate your blood sugar better. Do you take it regularly - or do you take it when you eat? The best way is to give yourself insulin every time you eat, by counting the carbs you eat and then giving the amount of insulin that covers those carbs. That's how your pancreas works. But that is a big hassle, I know, unless you have an insulin pump which is great!

Gayle, I take a shot of Levemir at night.....28 units........and then I'm suppose to take 10 units of Novolog before each meal.....and I m having trouble remembering those. We're still in the adjusting stage so my numbers will probably change. I'm very frustrated with all of this

I am so happy for Dae Lynn!!! Being a single mother with two children is not easy financially and I'm sure she wants to make it on her own. She should be so proud of herself!!!!

Wish you were not having trouble with your blood sugar. I know it has to be a hassle for you but once you get it regulated you'll feel better. Think of you all the time.

I know it's a pain Diana, I truly do understand that part of it. Gary had to give himself insulin before every meal too. Later on, he was able to get an insulin pump so that really helped because he didn't have to give himself an injection every meal, he could just dial in the amount of insulin and push a button to give the insulin. That made everything much much easier.
