I just have to share my good news to encourage you. I have been doing low carb since the end of May. I have been eating the right kinds of food and eating NO sugar! Splenda has been my friend! When I had my A1C checked 3 months ago, it was 7.4. I talked my doctor into letting me stop taking thE Glimipiride by convincing him that I had made a lifestyle change and have been doing low carbs. Since I gad lost about 30 then, he finally gave in. Today I got the results of my... A1C and it dropped from 7.4 to 5.2! Yeah me! I am so excited and guess what? He told me I could now stop the Victoza too! Woo Hoo! Can't wait to see what it is next time. Thanks to this group, I have made a lifestyle change (not a diet. It's a brain teaser, I know) and I just have to say to those of you who find fault with those graphic photos........it was an eye opener for me! It can be done, folks. I still have a lot of work to do, but I no longer crave sweets, which is a miracle in itself and I don't eat nearly what I use to. Thanks for the encouragement and support!
