I'm pretty happy. I'm averaging 6.8 now. New goal is to drop to
6.5 in 6 months.

I'm taking 1 500mg metformin tab and 1 shot of Bayetta in the morning. Low carb breakfast usually two hard boiled eggs + 1 coffee no sugar, cranberry almond ceral + 1 coffee no sugar Kaschi frozen diner for lunch at work, then either steak + brocolli, scallops + shrimp on the barbie with green beans.. or something else. I try to go low carb. Every now and then ice cream but a kiddie size. Plus walks during lunch at work, walk after supper with the wife. Sometimes I ride my bike along the Bristol/Warren bike path. Getting into the habit of going for the walk every workday was tough.
