Hello everyone!! I just want to start off by saying that I am VERY impressed by this forum, it seems to be very well managed and VERY informative.
Okay, a little background on myself. I am 36 and ways diagnosed T2 in 2006. Started out low (Metformin 500mg 1x daily). As of January I was at Metformin 1000mg 2x daily, Glyburide 5mg 3x daily and still not doing the trick. In February my Dr. put me on Lantus 10 units at night and took me off of the Glyburide. As soon as I started the insulin my readings have jumped up by 50, sometimes 100 points. My Dr. said it is normal and to be patient. I never knew the insulin would be so expensive, each pen is $185
(one will last 10 days). My ins. will pay 80%, but I have to pay and wait to be reimbursed. Do they not make any generic insulins, my ins. will cover generic maintenance drugs 100%?
Well, I'm done ranting. Thanks for listening. Hope everyone has a great day!!
