A year ago today was the last time that I stuck a needle in my belly. That’s some cause for celebration, being med free for a year. Going from some to none can be scary. Diabetes feels like walking on a tightrope, but the insulin was my safety net. For the last year, at least in the beginning, it felt like walking the tightrope without a safety net. I knew being off insulin would be a stern test. Testing my commitment to my new lifestyle. I’m glad to say that my exercise regimen didn’t slip at all in the past year, in fact, I probably became a little more active over the course. I wasn’t as good with the diet in the year I was off insulin. On insulin (6 months), I think I had one "cheat" meal. Off insulin (1 year), I’ve had 5 or 6 "cheat" meals. But even so, those non-insulin cheat meals (higher carb) didn’t have any adverse affect on my blood sugar.
I wanna see just how long I can extend this med-free stretch.
