Hi lovies.
I thought we could use a thread were we could come, ask questions, vent our frustrations or just give/receive a pick me up when things are getting to be too much.
We could be our own little support group. We could totally keep it online and in this thread, or I would be willing to share my number if anyone felt like they needed to have someone they could call and talk with about things.
So, I'll start.
I've been a diabetic since May 05. I found out May 12th. The day I graduated from grad school. The first few months my numbers stayed over 200. It was frustrating trying to get medications right, following a healthy diet..etc.
I've been under control since about September of last year. I go every 3 months for an appointment. Most days I feel awesome, but there are days when I feel like a damn bottomless pit. Today is one of those days. I can't seem to get full.
I've been taking Actos in place of Metformin for about 2 months now. I've noticed some weight gain, but I am loving the fact that my gi issues are over. I guess it's a trade off!
That's my little..umm vent for the day. Weight gain and how I'm going to have to hear about it in the next 3 weeks. BLAH
