Hello....
My name is Yolanda. I was diagnosed 5 years ago as a diabetic. I can't remember the meds that they started me on but I can't tolerate Glucophage at all. Well, within the past 6-8 months, my meds have changed becuase my BG keeps going up or it won't go do to acceptable level. I found out a week ago that my numbers were in the 300's. I'm used to seeing over 200 but never 300! My dr. doubled my meds (glucotrol) about 1 1/2 months ago and then added Actos last week. Well, that hasn't worked. So now I have an appt. for tomorrow a.m. to discuss insulin therapy. I'm pretty nervous about that and had a mini-breakdown at work this a.m. but I'm all better now. I forgot to say that I'm 39 y.o. (40 in April). I'm pretty nervous about the insulin.
