Obey me Pancreas...OBEY! 11/27/2015 Greetings all! So this is a fairly quick update on the goings on with my wacky Pancreas. As some may know, the D-Rex had lowered my dosage of Metformin to once a day. He would have taken me off the Bydureon injections if I had wanted but I wanted to go with his medical skills and knowledge.
