Of course, even if you still have to keep taking the same drugs, losing weight and exercise will help smooth out your blood sugars and save you money in the long term! Sean Hey Neil,

I have lost 15 pounds just since Feb. and have stopped taking the medication my blood sugars are almost normal. I only need to lose another 10 to be within the healthy weight for my BMI. I would never stop excercising since seeing the results and feeling so much better. I have saved money on medicine and food. I keep to a healthy diet as well. The savings to my pocket book is great, but the years I have given myself back are even better. I was close to being on the same medication the one exception was a blood pressure pill.

I also got $20 off coupons for my test strips - only paid $1 plus 39 cents for shipping for three $20 off coupons -- not bad!

As for Canada's peace-keeping forces...let's see how this force reacts if 2 planes crash into a building killing thousands of innocent Canadians. Until it happens to you and your country don't assume anything. I am an American and I know of many Canadians that have chosen to come to America to get better and faster medical help.

Various charities (Provincial lotteries) provide my strips, insulin and metformin. I am on a disability pension and if not for the government, would be destitute. Canada is not a Socialist country, it is a merciful democracy, which is something Americans could adopt from us, along with Peace-keeping forces instead of an army trained only to kill attack and defend. P.S. We bury our soldiers with pride, ceremony, dignity, acknowledgment, photos, flags at half-mast and love in spite of our current extreme right wing government. We care for their families when they cannot, and there are no half measures in this either. I am Canadian, so the monthly visit to the Doctor and the blood tests are free.
