Anyone have a bright idea for how I can remember to take my 8mg Amaryl at night?
I forgot last night again. My 5am reading was 180 and dropped to 161 at 6:45AM today.
I sure screwed up again!

Kathi,
I do in conjunction with brushing my teeth or with my meals. Sometimes I forget the meal doses but not the brushing teeth doseage. I have always found that patients will remember their meds if they are in conjunction with some activity of daily living. When the pill taking is at a strange time they frequently forget. This is why for example it is so nice that the newer antibiotics can be taken with meals.
Don't beat yourself up too much. Just take it when you remember if you forget.

You just gotta be patient with yourself and allow yourself to get use to it, which before you know it you will be taking it with not having to worry about reminding yourself since it will become second nature to you. So I am sending you a
