| | Hi Barb and welcome.
You have found a good spot for advice, friendship and support. I am T1 on a pump, so I don't know that I would have any real insight to the pill problem. Sorry.
Anyway, take care and hope to see you around.
P.S. Don't take it personnally if we poke fun at Canada, we do it mostly to annoy a select few. Of course they do a good job at poking fun at us Yanks.

| | Hello and welcome, Barb
Welcome to our family (that's really what it is  ) . This is an awesome group and I think you will fit right in .
I understand how you feel about the word "diet", it really is a 4 letter world, lol . I find it the hardest component of managing diabetes, but I am doing the best I can. I think that's all we can do.
Anyway, feel free to post anytime and please do consider us friends here...I think you can never have too many
Take care!
