| Gambi -
Congratulations on your upcoming nuptuals. Marriage is a wonderful institution. I heard this quote a while back, "I never knew what real happiness was until I got married, and by then it was too late."
In response to your question about Byetta - I'm just starting down the path of insulin inducing drugs so I obviously have a lot of choices to explore. Byetta is certainly one of them.
Your signature says "CGMS -I would be lost with out it". Could you expand on this? What does it do for you that fingerstick monitoring doesn't do? I used one a while back as part of my diagnostic exploration and it was definitely useful to see how I respond to meals but I don't see how it would be useful on a regular basis unless it could help with immediate dosing.
I ask because I have a tough time with post-meal spikes. The same meal will affect me differently on different days. I'm pretty sure stress is the culprit. If I have a nice relaxing meal with plenty of time to digest then I'm fine but if - as usual - I'm scarfing down the food, juggling phone calls, trying to keep my 1-yr-old from diving for pearls in the fish tank then I can guarantee I'll spike. If I could see the spike coming earlier and dose accordingly that would be hugely helpful but I don't see how a cgms would help.
Also - did you have to purchase the cgms yourself or did insurance cover it?  |
