    This morning..46

    The last five weeks I've had about 26% of my readings be too low. I told my Dr and he took me off of one of my meds. Yay! So, within the last 5 months, I've cut my meds 2x per day to 1x per day to now just 1 med a day. Moving in the right direction! Woohooo.

    Nice!

    Which med did you shed, and what are you still taking?

    That happens to me when I'm coming down with something.

    I'm still taking metformin and got rid of glimepride.

    Fantastic. Great progress!

    YMMV on the Metformin. I can't seem to keep my BG locked down at less than 2000mg, but some people manage on less.

    500mg for now. Seems to be working fine. I think my diet and activity helps a lot. I work out 3-4x a week and pretty much a whole food/plant based diet with the occasional cream in my morning coffee. I try to stay away from all processed foods as much as possible.

    I'm curious to see a new set of labs.

    Ugh... I'm sick with something... my fasting has been fine (95ish) but my postprandials have been nutso, 168 after one meal which is 30 points higher than I'm used to seeing, and I feel all over terrible. I'm wondering if this is a lupus flare.
