Happy Friday everyone - it is truly a great day because today is Alive day #419. I was waiting to make an entry so that it would be after my Endoscopy checkup. this was the marker to see if what I have been doing is working. well... My A1c is at 5.6; cholesterol is normal; blood pressure normal, Kidney function is normal, Pancreas (yea that guy is on his own little program and not a team player) so in essence all normal. I asked my Dr. and he agreed to lower my insulin down to 16 units and if I still have low BGL I can go to 14 units. We cut my metformin in half and removed the requirement for my Atorvastatin. I am ecstatic at the results as this is truly miraculous (God is great). Becoming willing to listen, learn from you all plus changing my diet and reducing carbs and sugar, changing how and when I eat and paying attention to my health has saved my life. The Dr. and I were honest about my condition (Latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA)- now we have an official diagnosis) and that I will eventually have to do more frequent injections and more insulin as time goes on. But I have shown that I can keep that amount to a minimum. My lesson learned for the week is that I am truly blessed. I hope you all find joy in your journey and celebrate your success.
