| | | Hello fellow blood lovers
Yall must love your blood to want to see it sometimes 2 to 8 times a day. First post and I had to try and be funny. I was diagnosed a couple of months ago with diabetes. Pretty much type 1.5. I have been to 2 day course which is helping me. I take Levemir and Metformin. I have a good feeling when I go back to the doctor that she will take me of the Metformin and tell me to take Novolog or another fast acting. I may just inquire about a pump. Anyways this ain't much of an intro but here I am. I am off to study up on pumps. Any recommendations? ben.  |

| | Welcome! Don't worry about your intro. It's good that you were pumped enough to take a shot at it.
