Hi to all you out there I am new to this forum. I have been a type II for about 15 years or so and now am approaching 58 years old. Over the years I have gone through good and bad times with blood sugar, to be honest mostly at my own doing. I am reasonably fit but about 6 months the holidays I was on a business trip and forgot my meds, went on half meds to make it back over a week or so and have had a really hard time trying to restoring any sort of base line at an BG acceptable level. Have had a couple of blood workups done and this weekend the doctor and I agreed it was time to go to insulin injections for better control. I was wondering about anybody in my circumstance out there. Seems to me that the pills after a point burn out your organs ability to keep up and this seems a lot better way to go for me. Sometimes the cure can be just as bad as the disease and I always hated putting so many meds inside me. I still need to lose some more weight (as we all do) but am actually more upbeat since I crossed the Rubicon so to speak with regard to insulin. Anybody out there to share experiences like mine? What's to come? What to look out for? etc
