I've been tracking my weight since September when I was about 240 pounds. I had lost about 25 during the summer, before I knew I was diabetic. I weigh 212 today and I found out my A1C was 5.5 at my annual physical this morning. The A1C is a 90 day blood sugar marker that was 10.3 in September. (Normal is 4.8 to 5.6). All my cholesterol numbers were in the healthy range, which hasn't been the case in a couple decades as well.
How much of this is changes in diet and weight loss or the introduction of new drugs is unknown. I did drop one of the diabetes control drugs a month ago with no downsides. I'm hoping to drop more in the future.
Weekends tend to cause a little weight gain but I can't be good everyday. Time to open some wine.
