I was dreading the call I got today since I have been a bad girl and had cake and more that I am not supposed to eat, plus I gained a pound.
But I got the results of all my tests and I was surprised!
A1C was 7.3 in November 2016 , February down to 6.8 and now its down to 6.3 and with that news I get to cut out half of the daily Meds.
Cholesterol was high, I dont even remember what it was last year but I was on meds for it. Its normal and that means no more meds. for that.
My doctor has a goal for me and that is absolutely no medications because he said " food is the cure for your problems, learn to eat right and you will defeat diabetes."
I listen but I will say temptation is so hard when it comes to pie BUT when we ate out this evening I hit the salad bar first, then I had a tiny amount of pineapple chicken and okra, dessert was fruit salad with marshmallows and a regular fruit salad.
Now good news for Tony :
He passed the stress test, the echo looked good and the EKG was normal, he is clear to have the next procedure to get him 100% well.
Today was Good Friday for me.
How had your day been?

Wow congratulations to you both. I know sometimes it's really difficult to control when it comes to good food. I cannot even when I have gained 10 KGS only because of my GOOD eating habits..

It was the last day of school, totally out of routine, but it was good. Good news about the meds. So far I have not gone on the cholesterol meds and she will not check it again until July. My a!c was 6.4, I hope it goes even lower. I need to keep up the good things that I have been doing at work to make it go down.

@andriaperry Diet can do wonderful things My aunt started Atkins and while she stuck to it was able to get off her diabetic meds for a while. Had to go back on when she lost control of the diet again though.
They might actually be telling ME to shove it before long. I have a set number of days to get a certain set of numbers up or its Bye-bye Noner.

I wish you would win the lottery so you could tell that store to shove it!
Thank you, I was surprised that we both are doing better than I thought.

@andriaperry I know, I am just making the point that the right diet helps with quite a few conditions.

That's awesome news for both of you!
My day has been OK. I got scheduled for surgery to fix a femoral hernia, so I'm a bit nervous but also glad to finally be getting it taken care of.

Good progress in keeping A1C low. And yeah, temptation to food is always there. I eat in moderation now.
