Hi Furball? I'm new to the site and have been getting encouragement from reading the forum posts. I had a question and not sure it proper to just jump right in to this post. I started using a fast-acting insulin (Apidra) about two weeks ago and I'm wondering how you transport it with you all day or do you just use it once a day in the evenings? I was starting to use it in the evenings only but my readings at lunch time are high and I probably need to carry some with me at all times. Is there an easy/convenient way to do this? Thanks, Norma

You share your wisdom simply and in a way that sinks into me furball. I gave it a lot of thought last night because I honestly didn't have an answer for you to the question. I still don't have a clear one. I think that you are right and I have to give up any unwarranted shame that I have that I can't control my readings without insulins. I know that diabetes differ from one person to another and there are different circumstances for all of us too. I think the issue is deep down inside I just haven't adjusted to diabetes even after 9 1/2 years. I want things easy and in real life it doesn't work that way alot of the times. I have taken your question to heart and I will concentrate on the fact that the additional humolog is a way I can avoid complications and not a badge of shame. Thank you. Sally

Sally I guess I am just missing why you want off of humalog insulin I have been on a rapid insulin for 28 yrs. I would be in the 300s and above without it, the insulin is there to help you to control it is not a punishment at all.

I had high readings for three months before my last A1C and I thought my reading would be very high. I put off calling the doctor's office to find out. But I did and I was so happy. My reading was 6.9 and that was a pleasant shock. I have had it lower but this with my readings feels like a miracle. My doctor had set my goal at 7.0 so I am in range. I will continue this extra insulin and try to get the results better. I am hoping that I can eventually go off of the humolog again. I am happy and optimistic today and like Pastor Paul I thank God for all good things. I thank God for all things actually.
