I'm so glad that you went Diana. The effects of diabetes are often silent for a long time then problems crop up. Keeping your blood sugar under better control is a really good thing. Do you test at home? Gary has to test about 3-4 times a day and it really helps to see how well he is doing.
Please keep us posted!

Yes, I have to test 4 times a day.....but so far I keep forgeting. I should get a call to find out what my AC1 is. What I'm dealing with is more than my diabetes. The doctor said that it's like everything's been controled but is now all falling apart. A lot of it can be contributed to being overweight......so I've GOT to work on that for sure......not that it can cure everything but it can sure help.
Dae Lynn's moving in with us soon and she's talking about us dieting together and exercising together........that will really help!! Janet, I wish that you lived closer too!!! We'd either be really good at dieting together........or talk each other into eating!!! LOL |

An A1C is the average of your blood sugar over the past 3 months. It tells you how well your blood sugar has been controlled in those three months. Different doctors use different numbers. Some are happy with an A1C between 6-7, but others want it below 6.

Oh my, Diana! They are telling you to do hard things! Losing weight and watching your blood sugar are not easy at all! I don't blame you for letting it go, but now you are going to have to make a real commitment to your health.
We are all here to support you!!!

Thank you, Judy.
Gayle, my doctor wants my A1C (I did it wrong before) to be below 6.5. All of the diabetic books say 6 to 7.......I guestioned her but she said that the books are all wrong!!!???? Oh well, hopefully my blood sugar won't be too bad.......we'll see!!!! |

I'm sorry you didn't get good news on your check-up. They are many yummy healthy recipes. Once you start exercising and seeing results you are going to want to eat light to keep it up.
Your health is a great motivator for losing weight. |
