I went in for surgery on March 14th of this year and found out I am a diabetic. My glucose was 400 and my a1c was 15. I have another surgery coming up so we did another a1c test on Friday to see where I am at. My a1c is now 7.9! I can't believe it! I have worked so hard, followed the food list and not cheated. My nurse at my primary dr's told me to eat up to 50 carbs per meal and to eat wheat bread. I came home, joined this group and the recipe group just looking for a little support and guidance. I HAVE LEARNED SO MUCH MORE FROM ALL OF YOU AND ESPECIALLY THE ADMINS! THANK YOU! My nurse said if I keep going at this rate, I could be off insulin by the end of this year. Thank you so much for all the recipes and guidance...you have saved my life!
