diabetes, type 2
"I was on Lantus Solostar and Metformin twice daily max dosage.  Sugar counts were still 300 and 200.  I was so frustrated because the insulin and supplies are extremely expensive with my HSA plan.  Basically, my problem did not improve and I was broke.  I ran out of insulin and did not have the money to refill.  My dr's apt was three weeks later.  I explained my low funds situation and promised to fill the Rx as soon as I received my next pay check.  She said "Let's try a cheaper option for you".  I said "Woo hoo! Let's!".  She prescribed Glimeperide.  I took a half pill for days 1 and 2.  No change.  I took the entire pill days 3 & 4...better...but not much.  I take two pills daily now, and I see IMPROVEMENT! WOO HOO!"
