Lisa...
My insulin levels have been 13.9, 15.0, 17.8 over the last six months I have had
them tested. Even with the obvious gradual increase, my doc still refuses to
prescribe Met. I would change docs again...but, the is my SIXTH! So, not saying
that you can't get it... but if you find someone to prescribe it...pass their name
on to me! Good luck to you!
