Re: Goodbye salad of pills
Good luck, Bill!! Not the happiest news re needles, but feeling better will be worth it!!
Re: Goodbye salad of pills
What Her Majesty said. Good luck and at least you'll get to ditch the pills, which in my book has to be worth something, (of course I'm a bit of a pill phobic). :)
Best wishes for many sales to all,

Hope everything works out well for you Bill.
A friend of ours has been injecting insulin for years. He does have to watch his sugar intake, avoids most sugary foods and eats healthily.
While we are gradually putting on the pounds, he has stayed the same size he was at 25!

I know a few folks like this; my guess is they're far more careful (and therefore healthier) than the rest of us. :)

Just an FYI http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/ar...ie-regime.html
Not a medical person and only glanced over, however if applicable maybe something to speak to doc or consultant about...
News I would hate to be given so thoughts are with you...
Re: Goodbye salad of pills
Best wishes, Bill. I hope your new regime goes OK.
Re: Goodbye salad of pills
Just last week I got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
I'd gone for an eye test as my vision had deteriorated quite rapidly over two weeks.
I got referred to the doc and my blood tests came back with sky high sugar levels.
Hell of a shock I can tell you!
A pee test result meant I can use tablets for now instead of going on insulin.
Still trying to get my head around it. :)
Re: Goodbye salad of pills
Bill, don't know how many times a day you have to take insulin, but some people use a pump to avoid multiple sticks per day. Each person is different in terms of the regimen needed. Also you may find you do not have much of an aversion to the injections, once you start using them. Just make sure you monitor yourself, and work with your provider. Hope all goes well with maintaining your sugar levels.
Re: Goodbye salad of pills
Well, Bill, it's often a bit of a challenge to adjust to something like this ... but I do hope that you'll feel better in general.
