:wavey: Hi, Im 49, diabetic for oh, lets see, about fourteen years, since shortly after having my children. Last year I maxed out on pills and tried Byetta. It was ok, but recently, the side effects started to come back for some unknown reason and Im getting off of it now. So Im back on my pills for now with just Humulog boluses before my meals. I take Amaryl, Metformin and the humulog. But I fear that's going to change because I really need a lot of insulin before every meal. Like 10 units every time, so in a couple of weeks, that will be addressed. I need to learn all I can from you pros here. Im also terrified of gaining weight on insulin, as I hear that happens frequently. Looking forward to getting to know some of you. It looks like a nice place to hang out and I love the smileys :marchmell
