I've gone from tired and discouraged to totally excited in an instant! I just saw my doctor today and my latest A1c is 5.8 so I can start tapering off of Metformin. There are no words to describe how happy this makes me. Finally, all my hard work is paying off. Once off Metformin I can try...

Diabetes is a lot to manage sometimes. So many external things going on that cause ups and downs along with some frustrations. I read today a beautiful article on how a woman lost 120 pounds and gained control of her diabetes. It is not an article on carb counting or exercise logs. It is an...

I came across this article on Facebook. It's worth reading it through, although it's a bit long; it opened my eyes to the role played by Pharmacy Benefit Managers in the increased cost of insulin. I thought it worth sharing: ...

I've got an appointment with the endocrinologist tomorrow and I've already made several changes to my insulin regime but I'm still seeing...

I saw my dr. today to get multiple test results including the final results for my adrenal tumor. Good news on the adrenal tumor - it's non functioning at this time so no surgery, just monitoring. What was a total shock was my A1C - 4.9! I've been following LCHF for the last 2 months but...
