Diabetic 2

[kwal79 99]

I was hospitalized in 2008 for emergency surgery. They checked my sugars only to find they were 455! I was on an insulin drip in icu for 5 days.

The day of my bypass my A-1C was 13.5 !

At my 3 month check it was 8.5

At my 6 month check it was 4.8

That's normal non diabetic adult range!

I was taken off all my diabetic meds including insulin. The surgery has done its job! For me that is. I'm going to see my primary at my one yr check up. If its still in this range I'm diabetes free!

Congrats!!! That's really awesome! I completely understand the A1C struggle...I've got mine down from 11.7 to 6.4 in less than a year.

Great news! How long did it take you to get off insulin?

[kwal79 99]

They took me right off cause my bs dropped like a stone and has stayed down.

[Tracym1107 47]

Awesome! That's what I'm hoping for after my surgery next week!
