My wife came home with a great recioe for turkey burgers last night> Fresh sage, Basil, orange peel, bit of orange concentrate mixed with ground turkey ... on the stove top & steamed Brussel sprouts...

Well, all good things to those who wait.  Metformin is helping ...

Despite a small hiccup in yesterday's readings, I am feeling good, the BG is on target and I am sticking closely to the diet plan. I need to exercise more -- but it is F'ING HOT! So --- light...

HDL and LDL good.A1C 6.9% -- not at all shabby! Doc says, "Good job -- keep doing what you are doing." W00t!

I'm not sureI understand this .... I take Metformin XR and I watch my glucose levels sorta go up and down with that. But it is controlled release ... so ... wtf? Anyway -- test more, eat more...

Not much to say --- just not doing it.   

Lost 10 pounds since last visit.  Glucose levels are good, blood pressure is good. Pain in feet continues, numbness in hands. Alpha lipoic acid is supposed to help. We'll see.

Damn scale

I was all over the place last week. Entirely stress and illness (summer cold) related. Getting back on track.

Weighed in at 259 this morning. It was an easy 11 pounds to lose ... quick. Now the difficult task -- keep that weight off and keep losing at a slower rate. Walks, healthy eating, aerobics ... one...

Sick in bed for a few days ... barely did anything but sleep. Seem to have plateaued at 270.  Ok -- 70 pounds to go!

After a shitty summer cold that leveled me like a big wad of chewing gum, I'm mostly better. Fasting BG was 103 mg/dL today. Fo real!

My BG went up to 195 today!!! I am on the same diet, same meds. WTF? Every time I think I have a clue about diabetes, I get a new lesson. I see the endocrinologist in two weeks.  Another round...

Metformin or no metformin ... I have to watch what I eat ... check the ingredients, where are the cheap carbs and sugars? I am not always going to have time to eat whole foods, but I will have time,...

I had a tasty dish with Thai Curry last night -- which contains a lot of coconut milk.  It was not overly sweet by any means, but looking at this morning's BG, it's a no no.
