Hi Kimlovescats
I have been living with diabetes for 17 years now (diagnosed at 17 years old!) and yes it is a pain in the butt! I also love my chocolate....very bad I know but when you are told not to I find I do the opposite! I am now going to get hypnotherapy to stop me eating chocolate as my eyes have very mild changes and I do not want to lose my sight just for my love of chocolate.
I am on insulin 4 times a day and have my bad days and good days! Humalog and Lantus
I have not heard of that new drug that you are on so would be interested in finding out more. For nausea can you not ask your doctor for an anti sickness medication?
PM me anytime and I can give you support cyberstyle!!!

Oh and on a cat note...my cats can sense when I am not feeling so great and either completely ignore me when I am cranky! or give me lots of fuss when i am feeling down.....they are my therapy!
