Re: cancer, maybe diabetes too? terrified?
Just like Laurel said, Incullin is not sold over the counter, the dosage has to be prescribed and can be adjusted if it is not bringing down your sugar levels enough or if it is taking them too low. The side effects of high sugar are fatigue, among others. Getting a Dr who specializes in this is important due to the long term degenerative effects of the disease. Getting control of it is doable and will make you feel better. Good Luck.
