We tend to try and do everything at the same time and we want it to work right away! But that's not how it works! It takes at least a month for your body to show some reaction to your medication and often it's the side effects that make us feel down. But if you tell yourself that "If I feel nauseated, sleepy, bloated and have *ahem* wind, then the medication is trying to do it's thing", it won't seem as bad. Some have it worse then others and some have underlying conditions which make everything an even harder struggle, not to mention the day to day stress we have to put up with.... It takes willpower with a side serving of determination to keep on top of it all and if you take it one day at a time, find a way of coping with side effects, up and down sugar readings and not lose your head when your level rises above 9mmol/L, then it will quickly become a routine.
