You have joined our club then Lance, and I am sorry to hear it. :'( :'(

However, it is a condition that if you obey the rules of treatment it can be controlled, although of course it will never go away!! :( :(

If you need any tips just PM me ;) ;)

Sorry to put a mocker on it but that treatment, plus all diabetic treatments tend to put weight ON, which my doctor constantly apologizes for, but that is one of the side effects! :'( :'( ;)

No Cem I'm afraid, and this is not me this is my doctor talking, that the medication has a habit of puting weight on faster than you can take it off, although of course we do try to reverse that trend!! ::) ;D ;D 

I am on insulin now and it is still a constant battle as it was on the tablets :'( :'(.
