I went to the doctor today. She was really pleased with me which was nice since I was 10 minutes late for my appointment and she was on time :-( And I made her late to the diabetes clinic. (Sorry)


My A1C dropped to 6.1, I lost 3 pounds and my HDL was up to 46 and my cholesterol and LDL were really low. She was really happy with me. She wants me to try and decrease the amount of Starlix that I am on and perhaps decrease the amount of insulin further that I am taking. No protein in the urine either. So she doesn't want to see me for 4 months.


Finally my going to the gym 5 days a week is paying off. I have never been able to get my HDL to rise before. I am really happy with Januvia that she started me on.


So I am dancing a happy jig which would probably make her happy. Get this body moving anyway you can!!


Cheers,

MaryFrances, congratulations!!! Good going, now you just need to keep it up. I know it is hard to get the ambition to exercise...I have to force myself to ride the bike. Although, seeing results does help the incentive.

Thank you for your kind words. I was getting frustrated because in December I started going to the gym 5 days per week and I really didn't see any changes. So to finally see some good from that is wonderful and enough to make me keep it up.


Hugs,
