problem diabetes related. He said it was nothing, I'm fine, i just overindulged.

He got his replicator and transporter mixed up.

actually the pic of him was not good, his face was pretty bloated, did not look healthy but
at 94 you get all the slack in the world...
probably still waiting for Scottie to beam him up

MY overall condition continues to improve. The Feb fall and spinal injury improvements are SLOW but - now I get around without my walker or cane. I do carry my cane out on the property. Pocket gopher holes, rocks, soft spots and all. I also carry my cell phone(neighbor insists) in case I need help.

I've lost considerable weight 235 to 170. Maintaining right at 174. How did I loose that much weight in just eight months. QUIT EATING SO MUCH FOOD!!

I have blood tests ( fortunately they can run the eleven tests with two tubes of blood) run every six months. My A1C is stable at 5.2.

I'm just not as "quick" as I use to be or as I remember. I guess that comes with age - 83.

I'm down from 14 pills to 8 pills daily now. Probably dropping a few more at next six month checkup.

Thanks to you guys for all the notes of encouragement.

EXCELLENT NEWS! Keep up the good work. You are an inspiration to many of us.

Yes - I agree. My results are inspirational - even to me. Sure glad of this. I'd like to say - "all of this has been fun and easy". IT HAS NOT. However- the results I've obtained keep me on track and going.

@oosik Glad to hear that you are getting better! I hope that true grit will win out. As @JJT wrote, you are an inspiration.

All the best, Peter

Let's hear it for weight loss. I'm down to 223 from 317 in 12 years. A1C is also 5.2. When I retired, I quit eating 3x a day. It's noon. I may have breakfast at 2 PM and dinner later tonight. That and portion control has resulted in steady weight loss.

Larry, do you use a CGM?

I have no idea what CGM means. I use metformin.
