My Levemir and Novolog keep my blood sugar down and my twins from having issues from high blood sugar while I'm pregnant. So tired of people telling me that cinnamon (or chromium) will cure all my ills and if I just took care of myself and "ate low carb (while pregnant!!!)", I wouldn't have Diabetes anymore.

I have "generalized" issues with "big pharm", but I also realize they do some good things!

Just thought I'd chime in and say "hear, hear!".
