Medical Update

I have had to lower my daily insulin dosage by 30 units!!

When we started this program I was taking 20 units at breakfast and 25 at dinner.  Over the last 12 days I have had several low blood sugars and have had to decrease my intake.  I am now taking 10 units at breakfast and 5 at dinner.

This is a direct result of eating right, exercise and sleeping well!!

My doctor will be so proud!!

My ultimate goal obviously is to get rid of all medications and manage my diabetes with diet and exercise! 

30 units of insulin over several days has to weigh at least 3 lbs right?

Thank you Heather and Spectrum!!

 Stick out tongue

Mickster~ that is sooooooooooo awesome! CONGRATULATIONS. those are the things that as we change our lifestyles that really help us realize what we are doing may not look on the outside like it is doing much but it truly is. I know from just changing my lifestyle for a week and a day i have so much more energy, i'm not as bloated, and my clothes are already feeling loose. I'm very excited for you! Keep up the fabulous work!! ~ Marci

YES, YES, YES... you have just realized the best benefit of taking care of yourself and witness to the extraordinary wonders of the human body. It is so easy to "just take a pill" and make things better. Before you know it, you have a medicine cabinet full of "pills" keeping you healthy. A little excersise, some smart eating and whalla your body begins to heal itself. Not to mention you save $$$ by not having to buy those "pills" Keep up the good work and stay focused. Future results will continue to amaze you. Take the dollars you're saving on medicine and buy yourself something nice. You earned it!
