rontravis's Journal, 22 February 2017

@Stringofpearls, this entry is a response to a post from @maeday42's journal.
The numbers the we speak of, ones that Dr. Griffin had me watch were from this chart.
When I was diagnosed 8 Feb 2016, my numbers were as follows:
A1C: 12.7
Glucose : 345
Weight: 350lbs

Now, 1 year later
A1C: 5.4
Glucose: 95
Weight: 258lbs

My Journal from 6 Feb 2017 is all about the 1 year report!

Just sharing some info, don't know if all need/follow these numbers, but, this is my story!
Your Dr. may have other stats in mind for you. Now this chart shows "Normal" as less than 5.5
Guess I am now a normal, huh!

Maeday42 - You keep going, you will make it. There are temptations/traps/idiots along the way.....but just stay focused.....
I viewed it as "There are 7 days in a week, if there are slips and bumps and puddles, there is always tomorrow to do better"
Forgive, realize, adapt.......

You sound like you have a PRETTY GOOD motivation to stay on track!
Mine was a 700 day expiration date!

Thank you for this info. I have always wondered what the A1c numbers really meant.

Re: Primal Blueprint - I have to say that for me "insidious weight gain" tends to start at a little over 50 gr carb/day. Atkins mentioned that for some of his patients the carb tolerance level was not much over 20.

Yea, I never knew any of this either! A1C what? Glucose Levels who? How many carbs a day? What's a carb? Knowledge is power they say. I just read as much as I could seemed like every day! I keep waiting for Cortana(windows phone) to say "Shut up! Enough already! I'm done!" HAH! @Trackin64, I agree, 50g seems to be my "pivotal" point also. These are just the info my Dr. started me on a year ago. He kind of "hinted" Paleo also and I took off from there!
