doing good today, fasting #s were 160 this morning (victory for me) down from the 240+ i've been getting the past few weeks.
been holding it at bay till recently (5+years) with exercise, diet, and meds (januvia)
then blamo! sugars rocketed up and up with post meals numbers at 500+ (imagine the pucker factor) A1c came back @ 9+! after years of hovering around 4-5...
doc said lil old mr pancreas is unhappy (i'm blaming the januvia) so was prescribed Lantus and am on my 3rd day.
so i found this site with my ipad and am starting on the long road...at least i'm past the 1/2 century mark...lol
so a lil background since i'm a noob here:
was diag about 6 years ago with preD, so got on the program with low carb diet, exercise (at least an hour a day of various but minimally treadmill and dog walking), and of course was prescribed the next class action drug (metformin caused to many grastric issues) then as i mentioned above, blamo! skyrocketing #s with no change on general plan
so just getting into this stick myself with a needle daily thing and found this site with my trusty ol ipad while i was looking for tracking apps
have a good support group around me (the D runs rampant in wifes family, sister and father [both on pumps] so it's not a thing taken lightly or blamed on anyone
professionally trained cook/chef, (sold my business and now work in mangament), and now becoming an amatuer dog trainer (border collies and flyball)
looking forward to sharing and meeting new people here (looks like a pretty good crowd...lol)
