WELCOME HOME! I'm sorry you have such a huge adjustment and lifetime change, but thank GOD you caught it in time!!! I was diagnosed with type II about 2.5 years ago and it floored me as well! You are having to take much more medication than I am, so I can imagine how overwhelmed you must be right now. I'm not sure if you use the pen to test on your fingers, but if you do, be sure you have it on the lightest setting! It barely even touches you and hurts MUCH less than a higher setting! You adjust the pressure by twisting the end .... smaller dots, less pressure. Oh, also be sure to use a new needle each time ... a dull needle hurts worse!

Please check in when you feel like it and let us all help you get through these times of change for you!

Hugs,
Kim
