Very pleased. On Sundays, I'm normally seriously tempted to heavily hit on the chocolate goodies after Mass at 9 am (known as the 8th sacrament.) Had decaf coffee and three nibbles of cheese instead. I spent most of my time talking and socializing with fellow parishioners.
This is a small, but important, victory. Did have oatmeal with raisins and almonds this morning to keep the hunger beast at bay before we went to church. Will probably continue doing that in the future. Have had to take 2-3 units on insulin w/ metformin for meals to keep my BS numbers down. Am fighting off a series of sinus infections, which causes sugar spikes as an inflammatory response. Hoping for good numbers for my next check-up on Tuesday morning. They did a metabolic screen last Monday, with an A1C, creatine, albumen, and cholesterol level tests. My physician is concerned about my creatine levels and kidney functioning. Being a diabetic really demands balancing meds with weight loss efforts. If I can lose another 50 lbs, I may be able to go off meds altogether.
