My name is Lou and I am a 55 year old from Brooklyn, New York. My doctor had started me on insulin flexpens in March 2009. Six months later I now take 40 units of Humalog 3x a day and 60 units of Levemir once a day. I hope to learn from all of you on how to cope with diabetes. I think this a great forum and I am so glad I stumbled upon it. In closing I am scared to death I won’t get to see my kids ( male 23 and female 20) get married and get to play with my future grandkids. I hope I didn’t bore anyone reading this.
