So….I came on and introduced myself and then disappeared! I wasn’t trying to be rude or anything, I just have been trying to fall into a pattern. Trying to learn as much as I can. Trying to deal with the way I feel physically now. Learning to eat right. AND….I’ve lost another 7 lbs. I have my sugars somewhat under control. They are still a bit high at times (between 140 and 160), but hardly do they ever go over 200 and if that happens, I’ve eaten something I know I shouldn’t! And a lot of the times, they are actually lower than that. My husbands insurance kicked in and I went to the doctor this week. She has me taking Metformin 500 mg twice a day and said that I’m doing very well with keeping my levels down. She also sent me for blood work and I go back next week for those results. However, I remember that there was a discussion about having some type of test and I want to make sure that was included in the blood work I had. If not, I want to request it. Can someone help me out with this? Also I’m allowed to pick a meter with my insurance company and was hoping for suggestions. Does anyone have any good recommendations? Maybe one of those that everyone says is virtually painless? That’s right up my alley! Hee Hee!! My moods have definitely changed and I’m in MUCH better spirits. I think I was just overwhelmed, but I thank you all for your kindness. You helped me through a VERY hectic beginning! Things are looking up for us. My hubby will be home for Christmas!! And we will be following him to Virginia around the end of January. I can’t wait!!! Now comes the daunting task of finding a home there!! Yikes!
Hope everyone is having a great evening…
