What a difference

It was just over a week ago that I was incredibly desperate and frightened. My blood sugars were regularly over 200 and nothing was bringing them down. I was waking up to 250+ FBG. I was eating almost no carbs and still getting 200s.

Since then, I joined this forum, went on Byetta, renewed my commitment to some kind of exercise every day and started vigilantly watching my carbs.

2 hours after dinner tonight my blood sugar was 115. All I can say is... WOOOOOOOOOO!

I've got a ways to go yet. My morning numbers still aren't where they should be but it's wonderful to be seeing some nice numbers again.
