Had my Check-Up with my doc. Through vigilance of change of diet and watching my carb intake, some mild exercise, and taking my 1 Metformin pill twice a day I've been able to get my A1C from 11 down to 5.5. My triglycerides were in the 600's (probably from the sugar in my blood) and those are in the normal range as well. My HDL number has increased to a normal range as well.
6 months.
With being a Native American and seeing the outcome of people who don't maintain their diabetes appropriately (kidney disease, lost feet, etc), I decided to work hard on being healthy and I didn't want to end up like the people I've seen who have it worse than myself. Type 2 is no joke. I prefer to live.
