Probably don't want to candy coat a diabetes medicine, as t2ds should be avoiding sugar all together.

Everyone I've known with diabetes doesn't take something orally for it; they just inject insulin. Is there an oral form of insulin now and everyone I know is just living in the past?

I was reading up on this the other day and supposedly the extended-release metformin doesn't smell as bad because of the coating on it.

Why stop at metformin?

So if you can find an independent pharmacy that still does their own mixes. Many of those would mix suckers with medicine. So there is precedence. It sounds like it was something pretty common in the day.

I've been on it starting this year, and i hate pills. Like I can't swallow them at all and if I need even a Tylenol I break it in half. I am shocked everyone thinks it tastes horrible? I haven't even noticed, and I guess that's a good thing.
