Celebrating NSV!!

I went to the diabetes doc yesterday. He took me off insulin for a three month trial, glimepiride, and cut my metformin dose from 2 - 1000 mg doses per day down to 1 per day!

I have to maintain my morning blood sugar level between 80 - 110 for three months. If I can maintain that plus lose more weigh I can wave goodbye to insulin.

I say, thank the Lord and lapband!

That's awesome , glad to hear it !

I was fortunate:  I stopped my insulin injection and metformin the day before my VSG surgery and I haven't had any blood sugars higher than 105 since - I'm 3.5 mos. post op and diabetes free, sleep apnea free and no more high blood pressure.  I'm walking my ass off (just finished 3 miles in my moderately hilly neighborhood) and I feel great.  At 65, with a lot more to lose, I'm very happy - sound like you are too.  Congrats on what you've done so far - Losing weight (down 85 lbs.as of this morning) is important, but dealing with the other issues is equally important.  Good luck!

Congrats

Great news.  Keep up the good work.

 Way to go!  Those NSVs are huge motivators not only for yourself, but for all of us who follow your success on OH Men's Forum.  Keep up the great work!
