RE: Blood Sugar Fun - Drunk Monk - 04-27-2024
My Doc was skeptical about my cough being caused by the meta+glip (said it was allergies, but I've suffered from allergies all my life and this is quite different). Nevertheless, she agreed to swap out my glip for an alternate salt - Glimepiride. Any experience with glime, Greg? You are my diabetes elder brother...

I'm afraid not. Only glip and Metformin.

Oh puck
Well, I'll let you know then...

My sister, the medical professional, suggested I start taking a daily teaspoon of cinnamon.
I looked it up. I will not be doing that.
RE: Blood Sugar Fun - Drunk Monk - 04-28-2024
I take cinnamon sometimes.
RE: Blood Sugar Fun - Greg - 07-17-2024
6.3 A1c I'll take it.
RE: Blood Sugar Fun - Drunk Monk - 07-17-2024
Excellent! Congrats brother.
RE: Blood Sugar Fun - Greg - 07-17-2024
You just have to give up food...
RE: Blood Sugar Fun - Drunk Monk - 07-17-2024
Dammit.
I knew there was a catch.
I was hoping it was the cinnamon.
RE: Blood Sugar Fun - Greg - 07-17-2024
It's always something.
I did read from someone who said he was cured of diabetes. I don't think that's the way it works.

My diabetes specialist doc just added jardiance to my daily regimen. Holy cats that’s a pricey drug! $500+ for 50 tabs. Fortunately I’ll be taking half tabs and my insurance brings it down to $100.
On top of that, one of the sides is Necrotizing Fasciitis of the Perineum - yikes!
I’m now on 6 pills in the morning (one is a multivitamin but the other 5 are Rx) and 2 in the evening.

I coulda traded you some jardiance for a banjo (who’s the winner in that deal?), but I just “recycled” them at Kaiser yesterday

I just got on jardiance. Poor timing.
Well, I’ll get on it tomorrow after I cut them all.

I have a couple pill cutters if you need 'em.
Also a bunch of those containers that say M-T-W-T-F-S-S if you need...

Thanks but I have those already. I have other pills that need cutting.
In fact I just got a new dated pill container for my China trip.
