insulin injections and have been successful with this therapy from 6
months to 3 years. They are being followed up to see if the results are

I am not considered diabetic, but my dr. put me on metformin 500 mg.
after an A1C of 5.9. This was an increase from last year - when it was
5.1. I have lost weight - I'm now "just" 30lbs overweight and my waist

I need some genuine advice here please !!
After a few weeks of a nasty chest infection that wasnt responding to the
anitibiotics I have on my repeat prescription I went to the GP Thursday
lunch time !!

Ha..... I just baked some more Kursteaz CarbSimple Muffin Mix. If you ever
try it, look at the bottom of the directions where it says, "For Quick
Bread." Try it that way instead of like muffins. I put some sugar free jelly
on a piece of it. Sure satisfies the cravings.

What have the results been of either

I received my copy ofDiabetews Forecast today and was I shocked at what

Others in similar danger:

First: was diagnosed T2 in April 05 with a blood glucode of 651 in the
doctor's office. I have been on Metformin 850mg x 2 since, and A1c's have
been in the high 5's ever since '05. I test,test,test--thanks to you good
people--and rarely exceed the 1hr/2hr recommended limits.

Got breakfast and dinner on the menu. Now, all we need is lunch - quick,

Thanks to everyone who is helping.

I found the Wonder Lite White Bread at Walmart. I bought it. Just got home
and tried a slice. It has the good ole white bread look and texture but
still has a hint of fake...haha. All in all, pretty good though. Advertises
9g of carbs. Actually has 18 with various subtractions ...
