Saw the doc this morning, and he gave me the results of my A1C.

5.1!

Yes! I think he was almost as happy as I was. He did everything but
jump up and down.

Lost 30 lbs, 5 inches off my waist, and I showed him I could now touch
my toes (haven't done that for at least 10, possibly 15 years.

I told him about a.s.d, and he told me to just keep doing whatever I'm
doing. He says that about 2% of his patients take diabetes seriously
enough to gain good control, and three of the ones that don't, are
doctors.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone here for their
help and advice.
