First: Yahoo has erased a lot of posts, including a very
good one which I was answering, about using insulin to
prevent high blood glucose levels in a non-diabetic.
Please send them back, and don't get upset when they say
that I "rejected" them... I didn't reject them.

Second: I am announcing a BREAKTHROUGH to control my blood
glucose. I am using a NEW type of insulin ("new" for me...)
that I consider to be breakthrough medicine, because it
works differently than other insulins. I am using LANTUS,
which is amazingly good... one injection per day keeps my
blood glucose very well controlled for 24 hours...

I figured I was going to live a little longer because I was
injecting fast acting insulin 4 or 5 times a day, everyday for
the past five years... that was giving me "pretty good" blood
glucose control, but I would still normally wake up with a
fasting blood glucose of about 100 to 105 mg/dl... That
means that my blood glucose was probably between 95 and
105 mg/dl through the night, too... So I would control my
blood glucose in the day, and at night when I am asleep or
not keeping watch, it was about 100..

But now I think I am getting even better control, especially at
night when I am asleep... Now, my usual morning blood
glucose before breakfast is between 85 and 100, usually
about 90!!! That is amazing. Not only is it much better than
100 to 105, it also means that when I am not testing it is also
much better than it used to be! And it takes much less
EFFORT on my part to do it.

NOW my fasting blood glucose is between 85 and 100, and
this takes NO EXTRA EFFORT on my part, to inject late
at night, or anything at all! Fantastic.

AND... I also think LANTUS is the solution for millions of
persons who hate to think of injecting 4 or 5 times a day, so
they don't inject even once.

So... thank you, medical science. I think I will live healthier
for a while longer because of this new insulin.
