Hello,

I found this site going through a search and thought I'd join. I was diagnosed October 2nd 2000 at age of 16. It has been almost been 8 years now. I am currently on 3 shots of Humalog per day with correct dosages if needed. Its a 2u:10gms carb ratio + 2 u for every 40 over 150 correction. I also take Lantus 30 u in the morning and 34 u at night.

I'm married. I'm a psychology major.

Besides the diabetes I have bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, social phobia, and panic attacks. I am on Lithium carbonate 150 mg twice a day. Its been a struggle. Too high of a dosage like I was on before drives me nuts. I was at 900 mg, so we are trying a lower dosage because I was going without for awhile.

Well if you want to know more just ask.
Cherise

Whisper things into my brain, assuring me that I'm insane.

As we sit on the river, breath of life makes me shiver.

Don't tell me what I want to hear, afraid of never knowing fear.

Hello Cherise:

Welcome here. Wow! You certainly have your share of unwanted conditions. I don't know anything about drugs for Bipolar but that
does sound like a lot of mgs. for any drug. I'm Glad that you and
your Dr. are decreasing the doseage for you. Hopefully, you'll be
feeling much better. Interesting poem.
