Hi

Hello everyone. I am so happy I've discovered this forum. It seems like a great place for info and support. I was diagnosed as a T2 in 2004. I have been struggling to get control of my BS levels. Ive been on metformin for the past four years and just recently started taking glipizide. My A1c is 9.8 (down from 10.7). I hope to learn a lot from you and I look forward to talking with you.
