Any diabetics out there

[kacekwl]

1. levemir is about the same thing

if your insurance covers it.

work on the weight. i lost a few pounds and got off the insulin . still take Jardiance.

5. I think Levimir was discontinued in the US in late 2024?

[rampartd]

6. oh. i had it before then. sorry.

[LuckyCharms]

7. Glad you were able to get off insulin!

I'm Type 1, so I'll always be on it.

They switched me from Lantis to Toujeo about 10 years ago.

Toujeo for long acting, and Humalog for short acting.

9. i had been up to 4 times a day humalog and a shot of lantos.

+ insurance did not cover pens so i was using needles and vials. old school.

i don't normally recommend cancer as a weight loss plan but that seemed to work for abt 90 lbs.

how long did you have the dog, lucky. i really hate when a pet dies. lost 4 cats last year. cried every time.

10. We had him for 13 years and I just got home from

picking up his ashes.

Today was the worst day. Still sobbing. This is the worst I've felt in my life, and I've been through a lot of heartache, so I can't grasp why this is hitting me so hard.

I'm sorry for the passing of your beloved cats, and I hope your cancer is in remission?

13. about 3 years without it. thanks.

and praying for all the animals lost in war, earthquake and disaster as well.

we were not allowed to take her little dog on the helicoter out of new orleans. we never saw her again. i want one but she says no. we're too old.

14. Was this during Katrina?

[rampartd]

15. just after. 20 years believe or not.

2. There is a diabetic forum. n/t

[kacekwl]

11. I went there 1st

but seems to be little activity there.

3. I have no insights to offer but am glad you asked here. I didn't know.

Why, I wonder, would this be the case?

Hoping the diabetic forum can be helpful. I didn’t know of it.

Wishing you veey good luck.

4. See if they can switch you to Toujeo temporarily.

I've had no problems getting Toujeo in New York State.

8. One more thing, if worse comes to worse (with doc approval):

1. Insulin Glargine is available at Walmart with a prescription.

2. Novolin N is available at Walmart over-the-counter without needing a new prescription.

12. Thanks all
