Off all Diabetes Meds ALREADY!!!

Hi everyone, I went to see my pcp today, Yep I drove there myself. I'm feeling like my old self again. My blood sugars have been between 123 and 133...he took me off all my diabetes meds, told me not to take them unless i go over 160...i just took it and it was 64...lol I'm so happy...I'm off paxil, off lipitor, and i'm on 1/2 of my bp meds...he said probably by next week i'll be off them too...this was a great thing to do just for this to happen..your talking about a person who had diabetes so bad i took insulin, & 5 pills a day...to nada.... I also lost 13 lbs since my highest weight from 247 to 234 so i'm, so happy about that...

I'm naked here on the board, but you can see my ugly mug on the bottom of my profile, I just took a new pic today - please forgive me for not having the ambition or the pride to put on any makeup or even brushing my hair! xosm

yes, Kaiser is my insurance. My surgeon told me that the body can absorb more than 30 grams of protein when eaten in a meal, but can not absorb more than 30 grams when in a protein drink. Don't ask me the reason why? I never thought to ask. I guess when you eat protein, it is metabolized slowler.

Yay Teri!! I am a slave to the diabetes meds/shots....So I know how you feel...when sugars are normal like that you feel like a million bucks!! I am also on bp meds, lipitor and a million others too...can;t wait to not have to be on all those meds. Great job on the weight loss!!! keep it up. I am waiting for my consult appt for the lap band. I can't wait!!! Glad you are feeling better... Kristen D
