Good Morning!
I am 43 yrs old and I live in Wellington, Kansas. I am mom to 3 kids, 21g,18g, and 16b. I married to the most wonderful man who has been short of amazing and supportive.
I was diagnosed in June 2011. Since then, it's been a roller coaster of not so fun and games. I started with Metformin, working up to 2000 mg a day.. then they added Januvia 100 mg. Lets just say that didn't work. It nearly landed me in the hospital from the GI complications. I got switched to the Metformin XR, and when that didn't change anything, I went to Januvia alone. When my BS started climbing again, they added Actos 30 mg. That's where I am now.
Patience is not a strong suit of mine. So this whole process is frustrating.. Complicating the matter is I start back to school in a few weeks and I'm worried about how things are going to work managing diabetes, school, and working full time.
