Hi AmyJean,

I have an aunt that lives in Grand Junction.

Well, I was not going to post yet, as I have only been using it about 2 weeks. I haven't even titrated up to the 10 unit level. I am Type 1 on a pump and using Novolog.

However, thus far, it has been the "miracle" I have been looking for. I am taking it specifically to smooth out a morning resistance I seem to have. My BS spikes pretty high after breakfast and then crashes about 10 or 10:30. So far for me, it has been GREAT. It smooths my mornings out and I have not gone over 130 in the mornings after breakfast or had the dramatic drop later in the morning. I hope that it continues to work this way for as long as I take it; if it does, I would be thrilled.

My weight has been steady since starting, however I am not trying to loose and it has only been about 2 weeks. So I don't have any insight there, sorry.
