Hello Ladies ... I wanted to say that I am new to the board & I hope that I can add a bit of help here to some of you. I was diagnoised with TYPE 2 - back in Febraury 2002 & it ah was on Valentine's Day of all day !!

Well I was taking at one time - Glucovance XL & Actos & Glucovance & well the good news is that I am just taking the Glucovance & I just got off the ACTOS back in February this year & I am so happy too & when the DOCTOR called me to tell me that my A1C was down from 5.5 to 5.3 I was thrilled so ... I have been doing really good and hope to stay off it too so ... I go in for more BLOOD WORK in Septemeber so we will see what happens !!

Well, gotta go ... back later !!
Karen

Hi Karen. Welcome to the board. Everyone is warm and wonderful here. Sorry you have to be here, but I am glad to hear that your numbers are down.

I'm Debbie and I was diagnosed with Type II shortly after you in early April. I am 46 years old and am learning to manage things as I see you are doing.

Take care.

Debbie, Mom to my "only" Stephanie
