It has been very rocky but overall I would say it is the best thing that ever hapened to me since I've gotten diabetes. I started off on the 5mcg pen 2x per day. For the first week I had severe stomach issues and lethargy. I lost 12 pounds in 4 days. By week 2 my blood sugars stayed between 78 and 125 I lost a few pounds. By week 4 my blood sugars had crept up to 120-170 and no weight loss maybe even gained a pound or two. I knew that meant I was needing to bump to the 10 mcg pen. I went to fill my script only to be told I needed prior insurance approval.  That was Saturday before Veteran's Day. I went to see the Dr. today. No one in her office had done shit about it. I was livid. I have gained back 6 pounds and my blood sugars are in the 300s after I eat now. She bumped me to the 10mcg and as soon as my insurance approves I will start all over but at the main dosage.
I don't know what your A1C is but mine had previously rose a whole point in a 6 month period despite 3 months of kick boxing.
