Hello, I finally figured out the forum does not cooperate with my AOL browser, I hope it updates soon!
I am a Type 2 who is sensitive or allergic to just about EVERY diabetes medicine. Prandin served me well for many years, but isn't now. I take Levemir at night and have good #'s in the morning but when I take the Levemir in the morning, about 2 hours later it knocks me out and I can't do anything all day. I'm afraid to take it tomorrow morning because I have to drive somewhere. I've gone from 12 to 10 and now I'm going to try 7 to see if it will affect my blood sugars but yet allow me to do what I need to do during the day. Both my mom and dad are sick and I have a lot to do. I can't be being all cotton-headed and not able to keep my eyes open. I can't get into a diabetes doctor until 1-20, I meet with a nurse next week 1-13. I'm scared of these medicines. The next step would be the Huma-whatever or the Novolog. I'm scared of those too.
I'm a little person, 4 foot 6 and am not certain how that plays into playing with the medicine. Well, I better go to bed. Good night.

I'm about ready for bed too, Judy, but want to welcome you before I leave here. Do you test throughout the day & are your sugar levels weird during these cotton-headed spells?

There are many here who have fought the insulin wars year after year . . . I'm not one of them - I'm just on metformin, but I know they'll have good support for you when we see you tomorrow.

Wish I had some tips about your browser, but I've never used AOL.

Take care and thank you for joining us!

Are you modifying your diet to limit fast-acting carbs? How do you maintain lower blood sugars when so many diabetes meds aren't working for you?
