Bydureon: care to share your experience/ thoughts?
I just started Bydureon. It's a once a week injection; I just did my third one today. Because my doc took me off Actoplusmet and Januvia my BS went UP. I'm still on metformin without the actos.. Allegedly Bydureon will take awhile to kick in. I've had some issues with stomach upset and diarrhea. I haven't changed my eating…

The irony...
Oh, the irony and the agony of being out of shape and having to exercise to "get in shape" or at least stay moving. I swear, my stationary bike laughs gleefully when it sees me coming. "How can I stall her out today?" I'm approaching 64 years of age and... let's be frank. I am probably the only person in the history of…

Foods that snuck up on you
How about a list of foods that you might have eaten, thinking they were "ok" and after you ate it, you realized that it seemed to have something in it that made your blood sugars go up, or otherwise made you feel weird? Crystal Light AVOID. Full of "fake sugars" that are actually--high fructose corn syrup. Morning Star…
