Basically got yelled at by my Endo's PA when she saw my A1C. I felt so embarassed because she was probably thinking "does this yound woman want to kill herself?" I have to change the thoughts in my warped mind! I think the worst thing is that I know better. I'm no longer ingnorant to what is healthy for me and what changes I can implement to bring my blood sugar down. I brought it down to a healthy level before.
Well, I got the new prescription and happy it is a WAY lower dose than I used to take last year, so I won't have as bad side effects. So far today, I'm doing ok. I feel good about what I'm eating today and I am determined to workout tonight, no matter how late it is.
I contracted an awful hangnail infection in my right ring finger. It is soooo painful and developed so quickly! I got the antibiotics for it last night, so I'm hoping this will be gone soon. It's awful, but it really made me aware of how weakened my immune system is. I seriously though my finger was going to fall off because it hurts so bad.
Anyway, I'm hoping to have more days with a clear mind like this. I make good decisions with this clear mind. I will no longer be looked as the non-compliant patient. :)
Have a great day!

You can do this my friend. I'm so glad to see you here. What kind of meds are you on? My doctor just upped my Metformin, but it is time released, so she said to be sure to eat every 3-4 hours.

@kcook--Thanks hun! My PA just gave me time released Metformin too. She said I will have less side effects with it, plus it is a lower dosage.
@HerStrawberri--Thanks for the healing wishes! yes, it hurts bad, I can't even use it to type, so my work is taking longer than it needs to! Thanks for the add! :)

How many mgs? I'm on 750mgs, but she may bump me up to 1000 mgs until I reach my ideal weight.

@Kendra--She put me on 500mgs, but she told me to take two in the morning and one at night, so the dosage varies for the day. @Kat--Thanks!! You're doing so awesome! I need tatoo your NO EXCUSES mantra on my forehead so that I see it everyday! :)

Ah, ok. I guess I should have said that I'm on 750 mg twice a day.
