Hello everybody!! Hope everyone is doing well....I am doing just fine!! I miss being around!! Anyone around this weekend?

HI EVERYONE!! Sore wrist is making typing difficult!
Hope you are all doing well. My A1C came back at 6.4!!
Have had some problems since...seeing brand new Doc on Wednesday!!!!!Hugs to all!

Hi Dorrie,

What was your AC1 in the last test? Is 6.4 higher or lower.

I am doing ok. Sticking to diet and cut out a lot of sugar. Down 2.5 lbs so far.

Hi Shelley!! My A1c was 8.2 last time. Hope you had a great weekend!! Good to see more "action" around here!!!!

Dorrie,

your a1c is doing great for a person with diabetes. Before I joined Cornell, my a1c was 9 point something or other. Now it's 6.2 so if THEY ARE HAPPY, well, so am I.

My goal is to have it go down to 4. Probably never going to happen at my age, but one can hope.

Went to my diabetic eye specialist the other day. he says: 'no sign of diabetes in your eyes, good job, see you in 6 months". I go to him every 6 months.

When I initially went, I had these pinprick hemoraghes in my eyes.

They have since banished.

Thank goodness.

Every little bit helps. maybe it's because I lost so much weight and got my diabetes under better control?? (This morning it was 112)

Who cares WHAT THE REASON. The doctor tells me "no sign of diabetes in your eyes"


That statement alone makes me go and eat my plain greek yogurt. The doctor at Cornell told me to eat this. It is called FAGE. I get the no fat, no nothing plain yogurt. It's an acquired taste, believe me.

I just imagine it going to all my vital organs and helping them.

Tastes like crap, but I'm getting to love this.

lol
