Today must be a good day for the 90 day checkup. I followed up with my doctor and she came in to the room glowing. My A1C went from 6.3 to 5.9. She said that 5.7 is normal and told me that whatever I was doing to keep doing it which is watching carbs, adding exercise and losing weight.

My doctor told me not to think of myself as "cured" but as a diabetic doing well. She also told me I didn't need to come back until 6 months or so but I asked to come back in 3 as I am thinking holidays and stressful time to diet/exercise. I was also told I didn't need to test no more than once a month but I could test more often as I felt the need.

I'm testing. I cannot feel the blood sugar rise but I can sure feel it fall. I don't want to be thinking I'm doing well and my glucose be over the top. One thing I have learned is that this disease is not one to be taken lightly. The longer I can hold off the better.

I have found a lot of support from others on this site and I want to thank each one of you - you know who you are. Cheering me on really helped. Thank You!
