I have been a diabetic almost 16 years..My diabetes is so controlled that I only take 1 liquid medication once a week (similar to Byetta) I HATED taking metformin which is the main pill given today. It gave me chronic diarrhea and put my job in jeopardy more than once...do some homework..Ask yourself this, Am I in denial to this disease? The world doesn't have to come to an end because you're a diabetic..What am I gaining from NOT TAKING MY MEDICATION? Nothing really, missing your meds will cause you to get even worse...If you don't like the drug your taking, do some research and push back to your doctor.. I did, I lost over 35lbs and now I'm down to the once a week thing. My goal this year is to get off completely! Just remember YOU WANT TO BE AROUND to see yourself grow old gracefully, Take care of your body, your body is the ONLY body you have to live with..:O)

You might not be realizing that it is not good because missing you dosage doesn't have any adverse effects on your body or health. You should take all your medication to avoid fluctuating blood sugar levels.

It really helps me to have a schedule that is the same most of the time. What I mean is that I plan on eating dinner at 6:00pm so I take my pill at 5:30pm. I know this can be a pain in the neck sometimes but the routine helps me make sure I take my meds correctly. I also carry meds with me in case we end up eating out or something and then I take my pills as soon as I order.

It sounds like you know what you need to be doing, you just need to get into the habit of doing it :)
