Got my results back today on my second A1c..and I am at 6.1 now, after an 11.5 initially just three months ago! Since diagnosis, alot has changed here..and I am completely proud of the work I've done!
I have already been taken off the glucotrol as of a month ago, because I started experiencing a lot of lows and my BS's were really doing well. Now I have not had a fasting over 120 in several weeks...and I run normal all day. My after meal spikes come down quickly.
Doc says that whatever I'm doing..is working, and I intend to maintain fervently and remember that I am doing well now, because I have done well with my lifestyle changes. I have lost almost 60 lbs, and have alot more energy than I've had in a long time. I feel better than I have in several years. So even though I am a new diabetic...I feel I can offer hope to other newly diagnosed diabetics when I say..take it seriously from jump street and make those changes..and three months from now..you can be this happy about your hard work!!!
