95 this morning

Interesting info I just found today on my University of Michigan patient portal account. HbA1C INTERPRETATION: 4.2 - 5.6% Normal 5.7 - 6.4% Pre-diabetes >=6.5% Diabetes According to the American Diabetes Association, the target HbA1C goal for patients with diabetes is <7.0%. Less stringent treatment goals (e.g., HbA1C <8%)…

Just got back from the Doctors Appt. Nurse: You've lost some weight. Me: Yes I have. Nurse: Wait, that can't be right... this says you've lost 30 lbs! Me: Yup Nurse: In 3 months? Nurse: I'm Jealous! A1C went from 12.2 to 5.6! The doc was pleased with the progress but wants to see me again in 6 months and wants me to lose…

I've been averaging 31g of carbs for the past 12 weeks. Small sample size compared to 2t9nty but I like the results. I go see my doctor tomorrow AM to see if I'm still alive, and how accurate my calculations are! The blue line on first graph shows my daily eAG converted into an instantaneous A1C with the red line showing a…

You're doing great PJ keep it going!

12 weeks ago my A1C was north of 12, Doc told me I had 12 weeks to get it below 8 and loose 30 lbs or he was going to put me on insulin . I went low carb and have averaged 31.2g/day since then. My morning(fasting) eAG for the last 10 weeks has averaged 89.9. I go to get my blood work done this week and have an appointment…

12 weeks of being back on the wagon with a low carb diet. eAG rarely gets into the 90's and an occasional high 70s!. I'm still on 1000 mg of Metformin ER and I've lost 30lbs. I get my blood work done this week and meet with the medicine man next Monday. My calculations say my A1C should be about 5.5. We'll see.

Welcome back Pam! I'm 64, I was diagnosed with T2D, 8 years ago and jumped on the exercise bandwagon, after 6 months had dropped about 30 lbs. My problem was that I couldn't sustain the exercise regime. I was working out 2+ hours a day and eventually fell off the wagon. At my last Dr. appt. my A1C was up to 12.2. I knew…

9 weeks of being back on the wagon with a low carb diet. I'm testing my eAG every morning most are in the 85-90 range occasionally spiking up to the mid 90s. I'm still on 1000 mg of Metformin ER and I've lost 24 lbs. Doc gave me 12 weeks to lose 30 lbs and drop my A1C below 8. Things seem to be on track.

6 weeks of being back on the wagon with a low carb diet. I'm testing my eAG two or three times a day and it's in the 90s most of the time. I'm still on 1000 mg of Metformin ER and I've lost 16 lbs. Things seem to be going better without Coke!

I've been going with raw Almonds They've got a few carbs but also fiber so the net carbs are low.

99 Potluck dinner last night, I ate a lot but kept the carbs low (8).

I'm not sure I'd say I feel incredible yet but I am feeling better. I think my body is still in shock and trying to figure out what I'm doing to it. I'm looking forward to the "Feel Incredible" stage but I'll take "Feeling Better" for now!.
