Congratulations on losing the CPAP machine and your oxygen.  I am on a CPAP, no oxygen, and I think I am going to miss it.  Not the mask, but I got used to the sound masking other noises.
guess I'll have to buy one of those white noise machines.  LOL. 
We must let go of what was if we are going to embrace what is !

My cpap pressure has decreased a lot since surgery but MD wants me to continue using it for a while longer.  Increasing my glucophage dose from 250 mg twice a day to 500 mg twice a day for the next 3 months to see what this does for my HgA1C level.  The HgA1C crept up by just a tad in the last 3 months.  I still am glad that I had the surgery and am not on insulin at this time.  Do  something great for yourselves today.

The HgA1c test is a blood test that reflects your average blood glucose levels for the past 2 to 3 month period. It is a good measure of the overall control of your diabetes. It is recommended that you check this every 3 to 6 months to help follow your diabetes management, in addition to daily blood sugar levels. The goal HgA1c is less than 7%. Dr. Martin J. Abrahamson. Medical Director, Joslin Clinic. Diabetes Hga1c test. Boston, MA.

My number went from 6.5 to 7.2, a small increase in my glucophage happened to help bring this number back down.  Rechecking the test in 3 months.
