I was all excited to see my Diabetic doctor yesterday. Last time I saw him was back in December. This time, I was all proud of myself because I have lost over 100 lbs and couldn't wait to have that logged in their charts.
Well, the surprise was on me! Not only was my blood pressure great since being off meds for that since January but my A1C was great! To quote the dr, "the best number he'd had all day!" 4.8!! I am now off all my Diabetic meds and was told just to keep doing what I'm doing. I go to a lab in 3 months to have A1C checked again because I have PCOS and not sure if that might come into play (he doesn't think it will).
Oh, do I add that I DO EAT CARBS!!!!! Hell, I literally have my cake and eat it, too!!! LOL
