My First Nsv (Non Scale Victory)

[dhales 98]

I am a type II Diabetic. Without meds my blood sugar is in the 300's. With meds my fasting is about 190...which is still to high for fasting. Before I decided to have the surgery I was put on three different blood sugar meds and that was my breaking point.

Well - I have to report that I have been checking my sugars religiously all week. I have not been taking any meds and my fasting runs 85-109 in the morning!!!!! It hasn't been that low in 10 years even with meds!

Thank you guys...it is pretty awesome. Diabetes is one of those cruel diseases that makes you crave what will end up killing you. I don't know if its the band or the lower blood sugars...but my cravings are more in control. Not to mention I am not running to the ladies room every hour!
