Shanny & Richard, thanks for the welcome.

Richard I am taking Lispro (rDNA origin) in Humalog KwikPen. I am right now on a sliding scale & I am watching my diet very carefully using books provided by my doctor as well as some other diet books. BTW I am aware there is no true "Diabetes diet, I am watching carbs & sugars..... learning a lot! LOL

I have my first class (one on one) for 2 hours Thursday, then 2 more 1 hour classes to follow that. I have not started an exercise program yet, but will once I take the class, they cover diabetes, diet, & exercise.

I my doctor contacted me yesterday to see how my blood sugars were, I told her & in the conversation discovered either I had misunderstood the nurse or the nurse incorrectly said to me that I should have been taking my Byetta along with the insulin!!! Well I restarted taking the Vyetta last night along with my insulin.

My blood sugar was pretty good last night before dinner when I tested it. It was 166, I have had it down to 128 once, but on average it is getting lower. I will be interested to see what it is this morning taking both Byetta & insulin.

Thanks again.
