| | | Wow great job!! I know I haven't been here in awhile but I have to say Wonderful!! I actually had the same type of checkup. So what did you do? It would be interesting to see if we were the same. For me it was a lot of resisting night time things, of course all the others, but it seemed that I was more inclined to want to fall of the wagon at night.
Congrats, and best of wishes

| | | I have never made it to the 5's without too many lows. My endo should be happy the next time we meet. I will be up in the 6's some where. No point in in tying to tell him anything. |

| | | The biggest changes for me was really counting the carbs for everything including snacks and writing it all in a journal along with my insulin amounts. I also started checking my bs 6 times a day up from 3 times a day. I was really encouraged by people on the forum, I was down on myself because I was really trying hard but could never get those A1C's down, the lesson for me is it will be the fight of a lifetime and I am not going down that easy. |

| | | Congratulations! Amazing job. This forum can be a lifesaver. Keep up the great work and keep those numbers down. You will be your doctor's model patient.

WOW!!!!!  That is REALLY great!!
That gives me hope that I too can do it.
I have been watching my foods more closely too, but maybe I should write then down to find patterns. |
