02/13-192.2-(Trend Weight: 195.2)- Travel today to endocrinologist for 1st consult. I am hoping my improvements will help me avoid insulin although I am a million miles away from where I need to be in weight, BMI and my glucose fasting numbers. I hope the doctor will see my progress as hopeful and give me a chance to continue improving without adding insulin.

02/20-194.0-(Trend Weight: 195.1)- The doctor has decided to give me the chances I’ve asked for. I go back in 3 months. I saw a dietician that changed everything and for the past few days my glucose has shot back up based on her higher carb (ridiculous!) recommendations. I am stopping her diet plan today and going back to my own before she kills me! Mine was working.

02/27-190.6-(Trend Weight: 192.8)- Back on my own plan. The dietician’s that I tried for 4 full days caused a weight gain and glucose numbers that shot to almost 300! I am doing much better now on my 1400 calorie plan that limits my carbs to 90. This is vital for my Type 2 diabetes and the proof is in the pudding! Pre-logging is really helping. It simplifies everything. I’m very happy with my progress this month and will get the final tally tomorrow for February. Even with a stumbling block, I’ve made more progress than I have in a long time. I’m very serious about improving my sugar readings and staying off insulin. Quite an incentive!

03/13-189.4-(Trend Weight: 191.6)- It’s been a very good week. I really like the way the trend weight is moving too. Lots more work to do though. It’s a journey for sure!

03/21-188.6-(Trend Weight: 190.3)- I’ve changed my weigh-in day to Tuesday because I travel on Mondays for my cardiac rehab. I can change it back when I have completed the CR program. I’ve been very sick these past few days with extremely low blood pressures (Avg 81/41). No exercise or major movement here. Don’t want to push the heart too hard so there has been no calorie burn. Upside is that I’ve stuck to the diet plan so there’s that. Finally after 2 days and self-stopping my bp meds, my bp is up within range that is acceptable and I’m feeling a bit better. I may try something simple like the exercise bike today. If I could burn at least 2000 overall calories today I will be happy! My complete burn has only been 1800-1900 these past couple of days. That is what happens when you are stuck on the couch taking it easy! Otherwise, it has been a pretty good week. A lot of improvement in my trend weight because of it.
