I have not been able to control my diabetes for awhile. I even lost 100 pounds. I was taking Januvia but it s not working. Last year at this time I was in the hospital for cellulitis from a diabetic wound which has now healed. I was able to stop the regular insulin with meals and then was pu on Levemir 30 units BID. Very rarely were my sugars controlled. He gave me a couple of samples of Xultophy? once a day and my sugars are below 120 down to 80 s. I feel so good have energy and have lost 4 pounds. The only insurance I have is Missouri Health net, Medicaid. I would like to know if there is hope that I would be able to get this. I gained 40 lbs of my 100 lost from the other insulin. Getting married in July and my dress does not fit now.
