My A1C has been no higher than 5.5 the last 6-8 months.
My glucose readings are always near normal, seems the diet, the little excercise I get, and the onglyza(2.5mg) daily are keeping the diabetes under control.

Cautiously, I can say Ive been feeling pretty good lately, or as well as a heavyset man in his late 50s can feel.
The myasthenia hasnt held me back much, just not driving much at night as I dont feel as alert and my eyes feel weak, but its nothing that bothers me much anymore.
Im sure alot of my problems are just old age creeping up on my slowly, and me not being used to it.

I hope everyone is feeling strong and healthy.

Id like to thank all those here and in the myasthenia section for all the great advice and comradery.
seems talking or chatting with people who understand what I was going through eases the panic and discomfort, at least for me it did.
