Final Day of Diabetes Ed. Class

Wow! I am very impressed with all the info I learned from 2 full days of this class. Today we talked about a jillion different things. I had my feet looked at and the filament poke to test for sensitivity. I passed!

I am concerned about the high cholesterol, but the CDE talked to me one on one about it and encouraged me to keep working on my food choices and said it may come down as my bs #'s do.

I submitted my 2nd week's worth of bs numbers and the nurse said they were still too high in the mornings so I am upped from half a 500 mg Metformin at dinner to 1000 mg instead.

Thanks all for the encouragement and support during this. After I learn more, I hope to be able to help others who come in here looking for what I was. You all are the best!
