Great Doctor visit

Sometimes it is great to have it pointed out how far I have come.

I went to my endocrinologist today - diabetes was gone after the surgery but officially it is in
remission so I have to go every 6 months for a while. HbA1c is great 4.3 but she went through
her records for the last 18 years. I am now at a lower weight than at any time in the last 18 years.

It made me want to do a little jig. I left feeling great. Just thought I would share. Have a happy day everybody.

Pete, congratulations on your awesome success. You have really made the most of your DS. I hope your doctors will learn from your experience what a great option this might be for other patients.

Congratulations on your 4.3 HgA1C and your weight loss. You are an inspiration! May your success and good health continue.

Congrats!!!!

 Great success! 18 years, that must feel awesome. I think it is hilarious they will not allow us to be Non diabetics. No we must use the term in remission. I prefer to claim cured. 

Debra, I find it funnier as time goes on. It made me nervous in the beginning thinking I would wake up one morning
needing to go back on meds. As time goes on and I get more confident I do find it a funnier distinction. :)

Thanks everybody it ahs been a great journey so far.
