If below 7% is the target, you are doing great. That seems like a good goal to me. I am doing well with the eating program. I am planning for some vacation in June. We were caring for a grand-dog, and she has gone home. The lung stuff will continue to improve I claim.

Might be interesting to have an O2 meter to check levels. You can find out pretty quick. I do think that surgery is a lot more invasive and requires more recovery than they say.

Ha! Sounds like fun (and maybe trouble).

I have not seen much benefit to the friends list since we lost the "wall." I used to hear from people who were keeping up with the food log or who had a question about macros.

I like Montreal too.

w00t! That sounds like a lot of fun. My wife and I chaperoned a school trip by train to Quebec once.

I have wondered before if doctors want to make things simple and work on the assumption you are not going to be compliant anyway. I have never been on insulin, so no insight there. Standards and recommendations could have changed too. I hope someone with more insight can weigh in.

At the end of the day, this is what will work as a long-term strategy. Props!

No clue on the continuous glucose monitors. I have never had one. I REALLY like the idea though.

Hey Brian and welcome! I would like to lose a few pounds myself. How are you working on this project?

I am happy to see you back. That is amazing about the cancer. There is much to be said for preventative maintenance.

Hope all is well with you!

Got an A1C today ~ 6.5

Waves - how is everyone doing?

We have survived the holidays. Now we are paying for them I guess - on the scales and maybe the credit card balance too. Wishing everyone a happy 10th day of Christmas.

Family has departed and we are recovering.

My wife and I have invited basically her side of the family to come for Thanksgiving. So they, the children and a son-in-law will be in town. I will cook a turkey and a ham. Other people will bring the casseroles and pies I won't be eating. It will be fun to see everyone. For Thanksgiving and similar days, I count carbs…

Getting the lymphedema under control will be a big thing. The improved bg readings are always good too!

I gave up caffeine for Lent one year because it seemed like a thing to do. I had bad headaches for two weeks. You seem to have gotten off a little easier. Improvement is a good thing.

Welcome! That giving up caffeine would be a tough one for me. Glad you are here!

I had a colonoscopy yesterday - fun fun

You are doing great!

Doing pretty well. I am Type 2, and I am currently keeping my A1C in the low 6's with diet.

Happy to have you here Sora - you managing your BG well?

I have just given up that sort of thing. I find I don't really miss things any more, but I have also been at it since 2016. How is weight loss going?

How is everyone doing?

I watch net carbs. I do not have sugar alcohols in the diet.

That was pretty weird. No explanation or anything, but maybe had a positive Covid test or something and did not want to cancel a bunch of appointments - who knows? I think her birthday was a good one!

Checking in - these past couple of weeks have had a series of scheduled doctor's appointments. I am tired of them. I had one weird one where they had me come in for vitals and a urine sample I guess, and then the appointment was virtual. I sat in an examining room and they had a tablet on a stand.
