what, a god damned hypo.  Didn't have any glucose tablets and left the

Has anyone had experience drawing insulin out of an Opticlick
cartridge with a syringe. Their web site implies that in a pinch (if
the pen becomes inoperable) it can be done.
I have a diabetic cat who only uses a third if a vial before it

I've just been prescribed Januvia for my Type 2 diabetes. Has anyone had
any experience with this drug? I am using it with Metformin and Prandin
and I am worried about side-effects or interactions. If  you've used it,
has it helped?

I started doing my own testing and insulin injections. My tests are

information on diabetes type 1.
My name is Amber I am 16 and was told I have type 1 diabetes on Jan

Hi, I'm kinda new to the group, but I really need to vent.  A couple
of weeks ago I was in the hospital for four days.  My bloodsugars
skyrocketed, and I had abdominal pain and was throwing up.  They did a
CT Scan, an ultrasound, an upper endoscopy and a small bowel follow

Noob question.
I am curious wether fasting (days not hours) can significantly lower you BG
level? Is there a point where glucose will no longer be excreted in the
urine? Does BG come from any other source other than food?

I'm on my 3rd pen and am wondering if any are seeing bad injectors?
 step one - up arrow shown and pull out injector

My 70 year old sister has type-2 diabetes.  She  controlled her blood sugar by

her control blood sugar adequately.
