Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / February 2007Yes! HA1C 5.7
Thank you everybody. Reading the discussions on this support group has done it. It took a year to get from 7.2 to 6.8. After reading what people were saying here I went to an endocrinologist and in just 3 months I'm down to 5.7. -Jewel T2, HA1C 5.7, 1500 metformin, diet, exercise > Thank you everybody.

This group is a wonderful resource for type 2 diabetics especially, with so much collective knowledge and experience between us. Good on you for making it work for you. Susan > Thank you everybody.

After reading [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >> T2, HA1C 5.7, >> 1500 metformin, diet, exercise That's awsome, Jewel. What changes did you make that you believe contributed to your success? Lots of people read and see doctors. But you took it the crucial step forward; you took action. I'd be interested to know what behaviors you either incorporated or eliminated from your lifestyle to make such a marked difference. Congratulations. You deserve a nice pat on the back and a big way to go. On Feb 26, 7:57 pm, L...@notmy.com wrote: > >>Thank you everybody. Reading the discussions on this support group > >>has done it.

What I did was get away from military medicine where doctors and diabetes educators wanted me to eat 30 - 45 gm of carbs per meal and saw no need to increase my medications until my bgs were above 180. My mother has been a type 2 for over 30 years and I have never seen her eat that much so I started doing some self-educating. I found this site, learned about glycemic index and found a good endocrinologist who had no objection to me holding my carbs down to 15 gm per meal and tripled my metformin. You all have provided inspiration and dietary knowledge far more extensive than the diabetes educators did. I am an accountant so tend to be very analytical. I have tested a lot and kept all kinds of charts and graphs. Where the military doctors discouraged testing more than once a day by limiting the strips I could get, the new endo writes a prescription for however many I want and the military medical gets to pay for them ;-) I still have a long way to go on exercise and weight loss. Accounting is a very sedentary line of work but I'm kind of lacking in good excuses since I have enough equipment to qualify as a gym. > I still have a long way to go on exercise and weight loss. Accounting > is a very sedentary line of work but I'm kind of lacking in good > excuses since I have enough equipment to qualify as a gym. :-) indeed. I told my physical therapist once that I had accumulated enough bits & pieces (from various injury & rehab episodes) to qualify as an outpost of the clinic! Congratulations on your progress. bj I found that to be true too. Good for you. :-) Cheri Jewel wrote in message >gm per meal and tripled my metformin.

It sounds like to found your own way and a great, helpful doctor! Now on to exercise-but only after the tax season is over:-) Wendy >Thank you everybody.

After reading [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > T2, HA1C 5.7, > 1500 metformin, diet, exercise That is fantastic news. Keep up the good work. I had several that were between 6.1 and 5.9. Then I kind of slacked off everything I had been doing and my last one as 6.6. I consider that fair warning to get back into my old routine and start exercising more  SignatureGrandpa Chuck -ô¿ô- ~ Americans killed in Iraq as of Februar 24, 2007 is 3155. United Kingdom = 132 Other = 124. As of February 26, 2007 it has been 1415 days since Bush while standing in front of the banner which was sent to the ship by the White House that said, "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" declared, "In the Battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed." IOW "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED." When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag, and carrying a cross." --Sinclair Lewis > Thank you everybody.

After reading [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > T2, HA1C 5.7, > 1500 metformin, diet, exercise That's a good result - and a significant improvement. BTW - the A1C test seems to give an indication of what your BG has been doing for the last three months or less, so there should be very little connection between what it is now and what it was then.
