| | | I've been taking Monopril for a while. It isn't too expensive. I was paying around $40.00 for a 2 month supply (I buy the 40 mg tablet and cut it in two so I get twice as much. The 10, 20, and 40 mg tablet all cost the same). Now, I'm able to get a generic for about $30.00, which isn't too bad.

I ate a cinnabon once about fifteen years ago. Back then, I was on NPH and R. It took me about three days to recover from that. I bet one cinnabon would add five points to your A1C. But, what the heck? Enjoy! |

| | The nerve of some people to wave a big, gooey, delicious cinnabon in front of my face when I live about 200 miles from the closest Cinnabon. Shame on you!! Your lucky you are still here because after seeing your avatar I was tempted to EAT YOU!!!
I actually had a cinnabon about a year ago and I did fairly well with it. It's the Krispy Kreams (sp) that I get violentally ill afterwards. I don't know if something in the ingrediants makes me sick or if it really is packed with sugar.
Congrats on the A1c.

Here's me being jealous yet AGAIN! 
But seriously, that's so AWESOME . Congratulations  ...I think you are certainly entitled to a cinnamon roll or two (yum!  ).
Keep up the great work!

| | | Mmmmmmm...Cinnabon.
Cinnabon actually is "duck folklore" around here--About a year after I was diagnosed, and WAAAAAAY before I knew how to carb-count or anything like that, my friends and I were at the mall, and one of them said "hey, let's go to Cinnabon..."
Long story short, duck ate one all by himself. I went home, took my normal evening shot and fell asleep about 6PM. And woke back up at 6AM for school. I can only imagine now how high my sugars were during that semi-comatose period!
Anyway, that is a fabulous A1c! Great work, Mars (why do they call you Mars?).

Congrats on the A1c. | I think I'd go Nuts if there were no Cinnabons around!  And to think, until last December, I'd never had one before....I finally tried one (cause my blood was low and it smelled good), and I too, did pretty well (went from about 37 to 78, then up to 127 ). Like Sandi, my blood goes crazy if I eat doughnuts (& bread) though.

Are you guys kidding!!! I grew up in Charleston, SC and have lived in Savannah, GA for 15 years. I have been in the homeland of Kripsy Kreme all my life. And on top of that, Cinnabon came to both places about 18 years ago. I have to stay way clear of both. You see, I'm not addicted; I can stop anytime I want to.  Problem is, that I just don't want to stop eating all that oowey goowey yummy stuff! Duck, when my wife and I were dating we would go to Cinnabon and eat at least 3 of the big ones between the 2 of us. My pump is cringing, just thinking about it.
