Needless to say we both chose Metformin as well

Oh yeah, that is something I am definitly trying to avoid. I don't even like pricking my finger I can't imagine what it would be like for me to have to stick myself two times a day. As long as I keep it kind of under contro; and keep losing weight I'll be fine.
