Progress w/diabetes management, etc.

[Guest guest]

Well it has been a month now. My morning blood sugars(BS) are approx.

110 and my before meal are that also. It is my 2 hrs after meals. I

have goto them down from and avg. of 220 to 175. I am on both lantus

and novalog. These are wonders. It is not too hard to manage my

diabetes especially when I notice the benefits. I have more energy

after meals. It is getting better about 60% of the time I no longer

need that 2 hr nap after meals. I no longer get those incredible

munchies either, that feeling that you need to eat everything.

I have had one suprise, my weight has gone up to 152 from 117 about a

1 1/2 ago.

I have a great endocronologist and diabetes nurse along with a very

awsome primary care doctor. They have given me enough samples for

about 4 months. They said if at the end of the year when my

prescription allotments ($2000/yr.) get tight to ask for more. My

monthly is $185 out of pocket.

I am seeking as many discounts as possible. Next is to ask the

pharmacy for any discounts since I go to this one solely. I know it

doesn't hurt to ask.
