Celebrate With Me!

I'm just about six weeks out. And my number one goal has been met! Today I had a blood sugar reading of 82! 82! I'm so happy.

I'm a diabetic. A flaming diabetic. Before surgery I injected insulin four times a day, every day. My blood sugar was averaging 250 or so. A1c was 10.8.

I felt so hopeless against this disease that at one time I was able to control. I feared the future. And the thought of not being here for my husband, children, and precious grandchildren tore me up.Well I have not taken any insulin since I got home from the hospital. None. And my readings have been so good. And then tonight my sugar was 82. Dang. I'm stunned.It's been 18 months since I've been any where near 100. Good health was my number one priority. I've only lost 24 pounds and nothing in the past several weeks. But that's ok. It will come off. But boy I feel good. My diabetes is well under control. I can't believe how emotional I am over this. Happy tears.

Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am Diabetic also, I had surgery 3 months ago and I don't have to take insulin any more. I used to take 9 shots a day and it is a true blessing! Keep up the good work:)

Ditto, was diagnosed last year right after labor day weekend. Was on insulin and then metaformin now nothing. I actually did a sugar reading just a minute ago 87, I remember just a month ago having to take the metaformin and then having to take a shot because my sugar was never below 150. I know it's because I just didn't care and the feel that food gave me was more important than my health. Not anymore, i am taking my heath by the balls and I am running with it!

That is so awesome! That is one of my goals, to get off all diabetes meds. I am 4 months out today an still on Metformin. Had my labs drawn last week and waiting to hear back on my a1c. I know it won't be perfect yet but it will get there!
