Changing MY Ways

I posted not too long ago about combination therapy and how it worked for me.  Again, I am not a Dr and all of the things I write about are my own opinion.  Anyway, I took Victoza on order to prolong my honeymoon period and help my body generate it's own insulin after I eat.  The results were amazing and I am greatly appreciative that my Dr. helped me get it covered by my insurance company.

The reason for my earlier post was not to recommend a certain therapy to anyone, but to get people to think for themselves and research what is available to them. Now that I am a couple years after diagnosis and my priorities have changed, I am opting to move to standard insulin therapy.

As I've trained harder and my endurance has gone up, so has the challenge to keep my blood sugar up during exercises without eating an insane amount of carbs. I would sometimes have to eat 80 - 100 carbs to keep up with a 6 mile run!  This is incredibly frustrating especially when I am not hungry and I have to stop my workout to get my BS back up.

Now I am looking to select an insulin pump to continue my journey.  One of the benefits I see is dosing half units or less at a time.  It wasn't until recently that I even carried around rapid acting insulin...now I am taking more and more as the honeymoon wears off.  I don't know which pump I am going to go with, as I am now going through the process of comparison.  Any comments on what works for you would be great.

Thanks!
