I understand your hesitation re:the insulin, but I gave in and went to insulin shots about 6 years ago and I actually find it much easier than the pills. That may be due to a quirk I have where almost no time released meds work in any consistent or really predictable way. I was on the pills for like 12 years and then between the inconsistency and then I started getting some pancreatitis like symptoms - bs of 450+ which wouldn't respond to medication and shooting pains in the middle of my diaphram - so i broke down and made the switch. After the initial trial and error period and as long as you get the extra fine needles, the injections are almost painless. And it's much easier to adjust for fluctuations. I keep really, really tight control (not losing a foot or going blind due to my own laziness) so your mileage may vary, but my A1C's haven't been above 5.8 in 3 years (6< is considered nondiabetic). And that's even with having to take oral steroids for my asthma 3-4 times a year. And while I still heal more slowly than others, I have an actual chance of getting better before I die now. :)

The moral of my sadly long tale is insulin isn't the death sentence you think it is. Sometimes it's exactly what you need.

I'm very glad to hear you and your doctor are engaging in some extra treatments. The bone stimulating machine sounds intriguing. I'm assuming it sends out small electrical pulses. Have to go look that up. Due to my overwhelming number of brushes with the medical profession, I've developed a bit of morbid curiosity about things like that. Oh and I'm a bit apologetic about going off on a rant in my last post. You just have no idea how many people I run into who are absolute IdiotS when it comes to their own healthcare. I had a friend who saw a dr regularly over a year even AFTER she found out he was not licensed to prescribe medications in our state! Slaps her head metaphorically (again) because let's face it. Being that stupid should hurt! Just the 2 yr thing sounded egregious and I have an almost pavolvian response when I hear stuff like that. Even otherwise intelligent people really seem to think drs are like gods.

I totally understand about the surgery. Not just the infection risk but you have to worry about healing the incision site as well.

Just remember, yes the last one took 21 months but it was a much bigger bone. As long as you can walk without pain it's good. But for god sake's, watch where you're going! :)
