So I saw my doctor today. Last time was three weeks ago, when he told me that if Amaryl didn't fix my numbers, I'd have to go on insulin.

Well, he's happy. He tweaked my dose from 2mg to 3mg, told me to test like usual for two weeks and if everything still seems stable, to start testing only every other day. :)

Also, my blood pressure is down from 166/109 to 128/68.

I've lost 7 lbs since the last time (160 to 153). Which is still more than I weighed the first time I went it, but not by much. So that extra ten pounds the Avandamet gave me is leaving again.

I don't have to go back for two whole months, either!

He tested my insulin production today, and I'll find out how that went in a few days, but everything is starting to look really good. :)

And I'm quite happy. :)

Yay Christie on the fabulous doctor appointment! Your doing wonderfully so just keep doing what you have been since it really seems to be working for you. Glad to hear that the extra weight is leaving you, because that will definately help with your blood sugars. Wohooooooo with not having to go back for 2 whole months, which I bet came as a big relief since going to the doctor so often isn't always easy to do and affordable.


Sending you tons of the most strongest "good luck" vibes your way in hopes of hearing some very good news on your insulin production. Do keep us all posted on this when you have the results. Take care and do have a great TGIF.
