@Stringofpearls, this entry is a response to a post from @maeday42's journal.
The numbers the we speak of, ones that Dr. Griffin had me watch were from this chart.
When I was diagnosed 8 Feb 2016, my numbers were as follows:
A1C: 12.7
Glucose : 345
Weight: 350lbs
Now, 1 year later
A1C: 5.4
Glucose: 95
Weight: 258lbs
My Journal from 6 Feb 2017 is all about the 1 year report!
Just sharing some info, don't know if all need/follow these numbers, but, this is my story!
Your Dr. may have other stats in mind for you. Now this chart shows "Normal" as less than 5.5
Guess I am now a normal, huh!
Maeday42 - You keep going, you will make it. There are temptations/traps/idiots along the way.....but just stay focused.....
I viewed it as "There are 7 days in a week, if there are slips and bumps and puddles, there is always tomorrow to do better"
Forgive, realize, adapt.......
You sound like you have a PRETTY GOOD motivation to stay on track!
Mine was a 700 day expiration date!
