Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / April 20061 Year "anniversary"
The relevant facts: Diagnosed 4/2005 with blood glucose level opf 651 in doc's office (yup, 651) Today, quit smoking 4 months ago, on metformin 850mg x 3 daily, low carb diet. The doc just called with my blood results: A1c = 5.7 > The relevant facts: > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > The doc just called with my blood results: A1c = 5.7 You rock! Way to go, Gary! Priscilla > The relevant facts: > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > The doc just called with my blood results: A1c = 5.7 One word: WOW!!!!!!!!! --Jenny http://www.phlaunt.com/diabetes Diabetes Info http://www.alt-support-diabetes.org/newlydiagnosed.htm Get Your Blood Sugar Under Control Had more to say but got cut off by he doctor calling back. (He wanted me to know that an A1C of 5.7 was a mean blood glucose of 105 (tee hee)). This has been an "anniversaries" month for me. In the past month I've turned 60, celebrated 30 years of sobriety (for you friends of Bill Wilson), and 1 year of living with diabetes. Anyway, I was most anxious to add what a huge help this group has been. With no insurance or job, and little leeway in choice of physicians, meds, etc., I have benefitted a great deal from all of the advice and shared experience I read here daily. Thanks! to all of you who post thoughtful knowledge and support. I honestly can't imagine having to rely solely on what a doctor would (or could) tell me, even if they were willing to take the time. And, as an unintended consequence of getting the syrup out of my brain cells, I have discovered a new career in the past year and am having my first art show next weekend--kinetic sculpture. So, thanks again to a.s.d.-ers, and back to the lurkers' bench for me. Gary in Wisconsin > The relevant facts: > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > The doc just called with my blood results: A1c = 5.7 WONDERFUL for you, Gary! I have that *thankfulness* for this group, too. I *do* have a good med team, but being here one is able to go just a little deeper into the everyday life of a diabetic. My doctors have even been thankful for the things I have shared with them from here, especially back in the early days when I was testing all food, and had a nice drop in my A1C. Dr. Endo's comment was "Stay with them!" Glad you came out of Lurkdom. *vbg* Welcome, too, to the 60's! It's a pretty nice place to be. *s* Billie  SignatureA Happy Pumper in Arkansas! bh-wages @ swbell.net Pumping with MiniMed Paradigm 715, 2/06 Humalog.

There's a bunch of us on here. Somewhere sometime someone told me that they're tracing connections between alcoholism and diabetes (also migraine and depression). I hit 100% on those diagnoses, but they're all treated, and life is very good. > Anyway, I was most anxious to add what a huge help this group has been.
