Isn't it a thrill when we work so hard and have good results. Can I boast bit, too? I was diagnosed with type 2 this last December and put on 2000 mgs. of glucophage. I have now cut that dose in half and my hemoglobin A1C has gone from 5.14 to 5.5. It's work, though, as I only eat 3 carbohydrate exchanges a day. <br work!<br Dear Cat,<br

Being as this was my first hba1c since diagnosis, I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but I knew when I got the news I HAD to share it with you guys in here. We are, after all, the ones who truly know what these numbers mean:) I'm not on insulin, so I haven't gained any weight from that, however I am on Glucotrol and Glucophage. I've read that glucotrol sometimes causes slight weight gain, but glucophage sometimes causes a slight weight loss, so I'm guessing I've balanced the two and right now, I haven't gained any more than a pound or two (whick my mother thinks I should gain more because one of the main reasons I even got checked was the fact that I lost close to 50 pounds without trying, sure enough she was right, it was diabetes making <!--more--> me lose.) Anyway, Thanks for the pat on the back! Hubby and I went out for dinner last night to "celebrate" I even had a *bite* of cheesecake afterwards (gave the reest of it to my children) because my birthday is coming up and he had it sent to my table, still two hrs after eating my BS only read 107, I was proud again!! Take care all!<br grinning like the Cheshire Cat LOL) Hi Cheeks, yes, I am quite proud. Being as this
