I wonder if peoples blood sugar does different things during a meal. Some people find it important to eat a meal with other people. I find it most enjoyable to eat the meal without talking or socializing. It’s almost like I’m trying to do two things like watch a TV show and socialize. I would much rather socialize while I’m driving or while I’m walking or sitting at a campfire. Or looking at the clouds. I really can’t socialize well at a meal. I know people feel strongly about this because they will go out of their way and not let another person eat alone and they will act offended if you suggest that you will leave the room and they will eat alone.

The pens are interchangeable with glargine, the generic alternative for Lantus, a once-a-day injection that regulates blood sugar. An equivalent amount of Lantus sells to pharmacies for more than $92, according to data compiled by the governor’s office, but consumers may pay a different price based on their insurance. "
