NSV - Best doctor visit ever

I went for my 6-month checkup today. Since I am a diabetic, it was nice that my physician had stretched out the visit to every 6 months, instead of the usual quarterly check-up. I was not expecting what happened then.
You see, I was diagnosed with diabetes in 2000. I lost 60 lbs over the next year, and I thought I was doing well. But despite that, my medication was increased each visit. Then, when the bad habits came back, caused in part by some life upheavals, and sent my weight back up (thankfully never as high as it had been before), the diagnoses increased, and the list of prescriptions mushroomed. I was taking eight different prescriptions, some with multiple dosages.

Today, thanks to good eating and exercise, I was taken off four of those medications, with another one on the chopping block. In all my years I have never dropped a medication, and in fact, my doctor said it was the first time in her recollection that she had cut so many medication at one time. I attribute this to my wife, for helping me stay on track, and this awesome site, which makes it easy for both of us to do so.
