Default Just came back from Cornell

Well, I had my two months visit. I lost 6 lbs. They thought it was the cat's meow. I just said: 'what the heck is 6 lbs given how I eat??"

They said "you are 60 years old, you have lost 40 lbs while on the ACCORD program".

So they are tickled. Me?? I just want to weigh what a woman is supposed to weigh. I am not there yet. I will be SOMEDAY. Just not yet.

Oh, THEY REDUCED MY LANTUS.

From 22 to......drumroll please!!!!!!


18.

I had gone up to 46 at the beginning of the ACCORD trial.

Today I am at 18. With no other meds. Haven't been on any other oral meds for over 3 years.

So they're happy. I'm happy.

Hope all of you are WATCHING YOUR SUGAR!!! lol

Melody

Why thank you my dear Dorrie:

Last night, before going to bed, I had to put a note next to my syringe and the note said 'USE 18 OF THE LANTUS.

God, I'm getting old. I have to write notes to myself.


lol
