Hello All. I very much so enjoy all the posts on here.


I am 52 yrs old- have known i had type 2 for 11 yrs--- I am 6-0 220 now so a few pounds overweight---- I take 4-500mg Metforman daily and 50cc injection of Lantus every evening. Up until now it has worked great with AIC's in the 6's..... My last A1C however was 8.5. I have moved to another State and changed jobs in the past three months-- increased stress-- but not alot change in my diet and actually I am excersiing more now than before......... My new Doctor wants me to add Januvia to what i am already doing-- sounds like a lot of Meds to me. I am considering going to an Endo Doc and getting his/or her opinion......


Im confused and worried at this point. A friend told me my system may be a lot worse and not responding. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.......


Thanks

Increased stress can make the numbers go way up.
