Hello, all I am a Type II diabetic and was first diagnosed 10 years ago. Since then, it's been a constant struggle to figure out how to control my Diabetes. My mother was Type I diabetic and my father was Type II. I am extremely careful with my diet and my exercise and I have lost over 30 pounds in the last two years, but my blood sugar levels are still not stabilized. I have been on Metformin, Avandia, Glucophage, Glucotrol, and I don't know how many other drugs trying to find one that works.
My last A1C was 9+.
I work on a website called Diabetes Library, which is a wonderful project but which really depresses me sometimes as I research and catalog sites for the Diabetes Complications.
I guess that on here, I am looking for other people who understand the ups and downs of this challenging condition. |
