I've always had trouble with my sugar levels being elevated. Partially, I suppose from having diabetics in the family on both sides. I never took it seriously until 3 months ago, when my routine physical showed my A1C level to be 9.1, definitely in the diabetic range. The doctor put me on Glimeperide tablets and said to watch my diet. Well, I went cold turkey on the carbs. In the past 3 months, the only bread that I've eaten has been 1/2 a roll at a restrarant. Not a single potato, and only one meal with pasta. My pharmacist said that any alcohol could be dangerous with the medications, so guess what? I gave up all alcohol. It sounds funny, but I miss the pie more that I miss my beer.
Anyway, it has paid off. My tests this week showed my A1C level down to 6.2, the lowest that it's been in many years. I've lost about 8 lbs. and I'm slowly learning to like raw vegetables and fruits.
The bad news from the visit to the doctor is I found out I have Type A Flu, despite taking the shot.
