I had my check-up today and am really pleased with the results. The doctor started out by saying, "You have really held it together since being diagnosed and losing weight."

Today's results:
A1c - 5.4
BP - 114/78
Pulse - 68
Bone density scan - "completely normal"

Yay!

Congratulations, smarty pants :) - I had mine today, also. but with an A1c of 6.3... I got hollered at.
But... cholesterol (the good/bad/indifferent) was way down, as were the triglycerides.
BOP - 90/60
Pulse - 60
Weight down 2lbs to 160.
OK - I'm gonna catch up with you on that A1c starting now. I'm outside fibrin' up the grill for some grilled chicken and nothing but raw vegetables with it - and of course my 2.6 carb cat-piss beer (hehe).

Thanks. Also, I don't see why you "got hollered at." Those numbers look pretty good.

I'd be a lot happier with yours. You seem to be in control - I'm not. Thing is, Mary, if I wasn't such a bozo with my "Oh, just this once won't hurt" attitude, I wouldn't be up there in the sixes. My doctor knows this; that's why he hollers.
I think I'd prefer your BP, also. Mine look barely alive :)
