Lantus, Novolog & Metformin

I was diagnosed in March of 2005. Was on orals until Nov 2007. Now on Lantus and Novolog. I don't mind the shots at all (pen needles are great), I just wish I could have maybe three days in a row of everything being the same. Good BG readings, no lows at the gym etc.

I'm 46 and married with two grown kids. My wife is pretty supportive and doesn't lord over me (which is quite nice considering she's a big time control freak). I have Diabetes all up and down my mother's side of the family. I can remember my grandmother weighing my grandfather's food on a little scale and giving him shots with needles that were medieval. Him and I would go for rides at night, stop for coffee and he would have a big piece of pie. Little did I know what I was witnessing back then.

One thought I've had lately is that this can be a really lonely disease. Not that I want a partner in it necessarily (like my wife or one of my kids). I am actively looking for support groups in my area, but they seem kind of scarce.
