Comment:
I just started the flexpen. Started at 20 in AM with slow release Metformin at night so far up to 30 in AM and not control at all. Best fasting was 158. Sugars go up to 220+ during day. I really watch what I eat very low carbs and low low sugar. Not impressed.

Miracle drug. My A1C was over 20 when first diagnosed and I'm down around 6 now. Worth the pain.

Comment:
The flex pen does not work properly. It takes many pushes of the button to inject a fairly large dose. The process is clumsy and somewhat painful
