Daily Struggles...

Yes, it seems I'm destined to have "daily struggles" with my type 2 diabetes, and while I know I'm not in this boat alone, I still find it very difficult, and some days, almost unbearable, but I keep on keeping on. 

One complication I have is nausea, whenever my sugars get high, I have rounds of nausea, and it's so frustrating.  It seems that no matter what I do, my sugars just want to stay high.  Pills no longer work for me, and I'm currently taking almost 100 units of insulin a day just to keep them in a normal range.  :-(
