Thank you very much..i owe it to you all!
Thanks to my new routine i awake in the 80's...and if i dont eat like i did
the day i went to doc i can go low..which is why the doc said to drop the
meds as i see fit.
My secret is what you and others have said all along since i came here..eat
real food and test and excercise as much as i can.
My diet is delicious meals of all sorts of good foods but i know whats in
every bite.
As far as meds i still take 500 metformin and 5 mg glipi and lisiniprol and
a asprin in the morning but am going to see if i up the exercise a bit..if i
can drop the met totally or the glipi or both..
At night i take 2.5 mg glipi to wake with the lower fasting numbers.
I am just starting to feel good enough again since dx to work out and am
slowly going at it with light weights and the recumbant bike because if i
goto much to fast i liver dump and then crash hard.
Eating a snack pre workout seems to be helping.
Oh and i eat a snack before bed like some nuts or a protien shake or when
the moods hits strawberries whith real whip cream like i did last
night..lol.
Portion control is key for me but i admit it is a struggle as i have had a
wieghtlifters mindset for near 20 years now...but am learning to eat and
enjoy a single serving ice cream or a single pork chope instead of the plate
full i used to wolf down..lol

It may be possible to drop the meds, I can but it makes it harder to keep
it under control. At first that was my goal. This kind of control becomes a
24/7 job that detracts from too much of my family life. Everything becomes
related to my diabetes. In some ways this can be a good thing as now the
whole family goes out twice a week to climb the mountain. Everybody benifits
from that but they have a life too. Its not all about me and diabetes.

I'm glad you said that. I feel that way too. That's why I'm very
grateful for this group, where a person can vent, talk about problems,
solutions, etc., without visiting it on every single person in your
life. Diabetes is not the only thing that ever happens to one. :-)

Eating less, down to the optimal amount is key to becoming healthier
(hungrier).
Be hungry... be healthy... be happy... be blessed:

I went back to work.
