I was diagnosed with T2 on Oct. 5, 2009. My wife took me to the ER after 5 days of blurry vision, laryngitis, constant thirst & urinating, etc. all from steroids I was taking for gout. I didn't know I was diabetic & the steroids pushed me over the proverbial edge. At the hospital my blood glucose was close to 600 and I was dehydrated. I was shocked.

After 3 days in the hospital I was sent home to learn how to cope with this news. I was devastated. I am now on 20 units of Levimir daily (down from 40 units in January) & 2 mg of Glimepiride daily. My glucose runs in the low 90's now & my A1C is perfect. I've also lost 15 lbs.

I tend to get hypoglycemic very easily so I'm not sure if I really need to be on insulin and the Glimepiride. I have a sister and my dad who are both insulin-dependent T2 diabetics. But I'm having an easier time regulating everything. Could it be that my condition is not permanent?

Thanks for this app - it's great!
