Yup, not surprised [View all]

after almost 20 years of this crap and a year of we could not get this under any kind of target or control with just pills... in the morning starting insulin.

I initiated that conversation... not the doctor. You do not want to know where the 1AC is... but kidneys, nerves, heart and brain matter to me. So the vial is in the fridge, the syringes are ready... and so is the sharps. Got the tablets too. It's easier to control things with 4 gram sugar tablets than with the old standby... OJ or Coke.

One thing a lot of patients do is be in denial. My dad took three long years to finally accept the jab. I knew it was not responding. Enough years in EMS to know better. It is what it is... with diabetes. We all will end on it anyhow.
