Your springy-legged fowl, Don, reminded me of this children's poem: The turkey shot out of the oven By Jack Prelutsky The turkey shot out of the oven and rocketed into the air, it knocked every plate off the table and partly demolished a chair. It ricocheted into a corner and burst with a deafening boom, then splattered all over the kitchen, completely

Wow, Tor -- Those results would be great in more usual times. Considering what you've been through recently, they're downright fabulous! Keep up the good work.

JoyceL - I have just checked your bio and note: "For the last 13 years I have been a diabetes nurse educator working at Joslin for the last eleven." For those of us who don't know you or that you are at Joslin, it would be helpful if you included that info in your posts. Thanks.

Hi, Linda, My reaction was exactly the same as Simi Papa's: You need a new doc. While your glucose level over time is o.k. (as reflected in an AlC of less than 7), your reading of 140 - 160 in the morning is a bit high. Ignoring this (if this is what your doc is suggesting) means you may be ignoring potential damage to your body. Others have suggested

Thanks, Bill. My 2x/day Rx was for something other than metformin. Next time I have it refilled, I'll check Wally's $4 list.

Bill - I also pay $10 for a three month supply of generics stocked by Walmart -- except they seem to charge more if two pills/day are prescribed. Do you mind my asking where you get your metformin Rx filled?
