Saddness .... some labs came back and my A1C is 6.4%. I was hoping that it would be in the normal range. Well, we'll see what it is like in 3 more months. The nurse practitioner at the hospital said that it is good progress. However, if in 3 months it does not get into a normal range, I'll need to go back on an oral medicine. When it rains it poors. At least, I finally got some sleep and I feel like getting up and walking around again. Anyone that thinks surgery is the easy way out is just plain ignorant. Le sigh!

Yes that's awesome! I am thinking the 6.4 A1c is from your earlier stuff (leftover) when you weren't necessarily eating 30g per day?
You should check out Dr. Richard Bernstein MD-diabetologist. He pioneered the home glucometer and eating to your meter. He's got webinars online to watch. He's brilliant and takes a low carb, adequate protein approach to treating his patients. They have better bg control than I do!
He wrote a book called Diabetes Solutions - he's brilliant. https://www.target.com/p/dr-bernstein-s-diabetes-solution-the-complete-guide-to-achieving-normal-blood-sugars-revised/-/A-13776355?ref=tgt_adv_XS000000&AFID=google_pla_df&CPNG=PLA_Entertainment+Shopping&adgroup=SC_Entertainment&LID=700000001170770pgs&network=g&device=c&location=9027743&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIwbKcu4Tn2gIVxcDACh1dHQ-KEAQYAiABEgIo4PD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Prior to surgery, mine was in the high 5s/low 6s, but they still kept me on Janumet XR. The first A1C I had done after surgery (about two months out), it had dropped to 5.2, so they took me off the Janumet. You'll get there!
