      hi & welcome to the family. what u wrote is so true. my name is kimmie please see my profile to many things wrong to list. my main trouble is my ms i also have type 2 diabetes and about 6 more things wrong. i take 1 shot 2 times a day am and bedtime. i take 2 cinnamon tablets 500mg 2 in am 2 in evening. i have been taking them for 2 years in the 1st 6 month of taken them my a1c went from 9 to 6.1 and is still at a 6.1 yes i try and eat healthy but sometimes i dont want to eat an i know that is not good. can i share something with u it is something my mom told me when my dad died when i was 8. "god grant me the serenity to accept the things that i cannot change,the courage to change the t hings tht i can change, the wisdom to know the difference. i am 44 an i say that every morning before i get up an it does seem to help me get through my day. i live in pain 24/7 because of the ms i take 1 morphin tablet 3 t imes a day and 2 oxycodones a day just for the pain. here are 4 more things that help me besides my husband of 20 years and my 15 year old son,family,best friend of 36 years,and my friends here on ds. 1."life is to short to worry about what the future holds for us. 2."live life to the fullest no matter how hard it maybe. 3."we will never know why god gave us thse ugly diseases until we meet one day. 4."rember, u r not alone we are all in this together. hope i have not offend u in anyway that is not my intntion sorry, for misspelled words but i tremors in both hands due to the ms. hope u can meet good friends. take care love ya

      Actos Working / Worked
      This is part of my current cocktail and it seems to do the trick
      Amaryl Not Working
      I took this about a year ago but it has a posible link to heart desease when taken with insulin
      Avandia Working / Worked
      It worked but also has a questionable link to hear desease
      Lantus Working / Worked
      I use lantis it works good cause it has an even effect it doesent have a peek that can sometimes make you feel ill , plus you don't have to take as much as you woudl with other insulins
      Metformin Working / Worked
      I think pretty much every type 2 diabetic takes this as a staple med in there routeen i have been givent this med by every doctor i have ever been to since i was diagnosed
      Physical Exercise Working / Worked
      Its good stuff the only problem is forcing yourself to keep doing it even when you feel crapy
