Diabetes Type 2 Support Group
Type 2 Diabetes is a condition in which the body either does not produce enough insulin or does not make efficient use of it. Insulin is a hormone needed to convert food into glucose, a sugar that the body uses for energy. Without enough insulin, glucose can accumulate in the blood, and can cause serious health problems such as heart disease and strokes and organ damage...
Saw my doc this morning for my 3 mo. follow up. A1c is 6.3 with fasting glucose 93. I'm 37 lbs down from January 2014 and my triglycerides are down from a whopping 341 to 167!! Still need to bring the tri's down a bit more and still need to lose another 30lbs but by golly I'm doing it!
Oh, and as all those numbers improve so does my kidney function which is SO important to control as I also have a kidney disease.
I give myself credit, but I also give my doctor a huge amount of the credit too. He's the kind of doc that makes you want to achieve the goals you set with him in the first place. I told him today that he cannot ever retire! LOL

I had gone to the grocery store. When I wheeled my cartback to my car I just stool there a minute. A few spacesaway a Tesla Cyber truck was parked. I had seen it on theroad a few times for a few seconds. But not close up.It looked like it belonged to 2126 and not 2026. I wasgoing to take a picture of the car but the owners cameback and drove away. It was an ordinary middle age...
This is fantabulous news Liz!
My A1C and over all health was so good back in April that my doctor gave me a 6 month pass :)
I have lost around 90 pounds since I began my diabetic journey last October. I don't own a scale (a story for another day) and never will, so my weight loss is an estimate.....plus I changed doctors after my January visit and at that visit I was told I had lost 60 pounds....anywho....I've gone done 3 clothes sizes....I'm half the woman I was LOL.
My blood pressure is normal and my cholesterol is down considerably (use to be 288 and was down to 135 in April......my doctor says she still would love to put me on meds for that, but since my overall health was good, she said she would let it ride for now).
I think we both are doing great! Let's keep up the good work!
Ms. Blank1, congrats to you as well! It's hard work, but the pay off is huge isn't it? Yes, we'll keep at it!
