Congratulations on the weight loss and lower A1c. Keep up the good work. When you go off meds, you'll have that extra money to go shopping for new clothes. hugs Eunice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 30, 2003 Report Share Posted June 30, 2003 WooHoo Pat, i had a checkup today as well. Not only did he say " you are a model diabetes patient, you are doing everything right " but he said it looks like my A1c has gone from my diagnosed 11 to a 6-7! He wants me to wait until August for the blood work to show it. But he is confident we will see changes in my cholesterol and triglycerides and my average. He wants me to stay on the metformin for now but said to stop the glucotrol for good this time. He also said i can test my bg just once a day instead of the usual 2-3 times i have been! With the expence of strips this will be very helpful! I've also lost another 9 pounds since i last saw him! Overall it's been a great day!
