I was diagnosed with Type II in 1995. At first I controlled it with diet and exercise. Then I had to start meds and am currently on metformin, amaryl, and januvia. Tomorrow I am going in for my A1c, and Monday, at my office visit, I am expecting to be prescribed insulin. The prospect has unnerved me, and I am hoping that blogging about the experience will help me to face and control this life-changing event.
