One year post ops diabetic numbers

Well I was a diabetic big time pre op. Blood sugars over 200 in the AM. HC1A 11 and 12. Had to STARVe to get am sugars in the normal range. Have eye problems retinapothy to remind me of those days:( <P> Post op a lot better, at 6 months my HC1A was 5.8 normal for a non diabetic and I thought diabetes was gone. PCP congragulated me on this. My 1 year blood work was perfect except HC1A back up to 6.6 morning sugar 102 normal under stress of worry about blood work. Incidently my cholestrol dropped from 275 pre op to 138 today. Off all pills except vitmins I feel great. BP normal without pills too. Now my question is for others that have gone thru this am I typical? For awhile I ate WHATEVER I wanted, including sugars, no I dont dump. Now I am being more careful about my food choices. I am wondering how carefully you once diabetics control what you eat?<P> Even given this I am THRILLED with my surgery and would do it again in a instant. POST OP IS THE PLACE TO BE!!
