diabetes, type 2
"Have used Novolog for 9-10 years.  I has reasonably helped with controlling my glucose but has caused considerable weight gain.  My units are determined by the carbohydrate count per meal - that has been adjusted from a ratio of 10 to a ratio of 7 per unit.  A new endocrinologist has suggested Januvia but the side effects sound horrendous.  The other 5 oral medications I've tried over a period of years did nothing positive and actually caused too many gastrointestinal problems.  Will decide in 3 months, at next appointment."
