I was out of control for so long due to horrible doctors keeping me on metformin/actos instead of putting me on insulin...
Finally found a good endo
Only bad thing about the insulin is that I gain weight MUCH easier now |

| | Congratulations on your improved blood sugars. Sorry about the weight problem. So many things can cause that. It is a constant problem to most of it. But you probably feel so much better with the improved BG's you will have the ability to keep down the weight too.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!
