You are absolutely correct. Two lousy pills / day isn't all that bad. I really think I was going through denial again this weekend. It could be a lot worse.

Only tested twice today. 112 this morning and 102 just now as I came home from work. I've been taking my Metformin too.

I miss my gumbo with rice and jambalya! Those are two of my favorite dinner meals to cook. I bought brown rice but haven't attempted to cook and test it out with those yet. If the Met allows me to eat that brown rice (just a little) then that would be a big positive in my book. Also, if it helps delay the burnout of my beta cells then that would be another big positive.

I read somewhere that most Type 2's eventually have to get on insulin due to beta cell burnout? I'm really concerned about this as I have a safety sensitive job and cannot afford to go hypo. I guess I shouldn't be worried about what happens in the future though. I need to focus on now and what I can do each day to stay in control one day at a time.
