    I’m consulting with plastic surgeon about skin surgery today. So, that’s motivating.

    I agree and relate. I splurged tonight and got a decadent dinner of a Greek gyro. I checked for nutrition content, so I could bolus for the carbs and omg! High in everything that I don’t want! Lol. But, it was rather tasty. I won’t be having another one this year. I did work out though and...

    Glad you‘re going down Filly! That’s encouraging. I’m the same! Lol. I actually met with a new nutritionist this past week. We discussed my progress, diet, meal plans, weight, etc. She thinks my calories are too low. So….Idk. I may take her advice and eat more calories even though that...

    Medtronic 780g + Guardian 4

    I highly recommend G4 with 780 with Smartguard. For me, it’s considerably better than G3. I haven’t used Libre.

    Thank you! My doctors can barely believe it. I’m surprised too. It’s hard to imagine sometimes that this happened to me. The birthday celebration was awesome! We went out for dinner and then a comedy show. It was so much fun and therapeutic to spend this time with my besties. Exactly...

    I am out of town with friends celebrating a friend’s birthday. Haven’t weighed the latter part of the week. I last weighed this past Monday at the doctor appointment and I did not make my goal for that large milestone. Still, I had lost 5 pounds since I last weighed there, so I took solace in...

    Congrats on that loss! It’s amazing how stubborn a couple of pounds can be. I like your idea of adding a little for padding on the loss. I’ll do that after I reach my major milestone. I can’t recall if I’ve posted what the number is, but it’s a high number as far as weight loss goes...

    I’m still the same. It’s rather bizarre that I didn’t lose after my colonoscopy prep all day Wednesday, (torture !) but I think I gained from all the fluids I had to drink. I had gained 2 pounds when I checked in to the medical office yesterday! But, I knew it was fluid. I got rid of most of...

    Thanks. It’ll be my second one. This prep is different. It disrupts my schedule. I have a lot on my plate next week. We’ll see how the scales go.

    I am gradually increasing my endurance on the Staircase stairstepper at my gym. It’s the closest I can get to a hill right now. I can definitely feel it all over when I get on. I have to switch to a low fiber diet this weekend for my colonoscopy prep. Ugh….Next week is going to be...

    I’ve returned after being away from the thread. I haven’t stopped reading though and cheering you on. I just was tired of my plateau I think. Doing the right things and staying stuck can be frustrating . But, I stayed with it and continue with my healthy lifestyle, eating good food, managing...

    Medtronic 780g with simplera sync

    Love that case! Where did you find it? Mine is plain black. I’m excited about sympleria. I guess it’ll be a while before it’s available in the US. I’m loving my 780 nonetheless. Please post updates on your experiences with it.

    COVID jab

    Last year I hydrated a lot before my covid booster and it was a breeze.I had zero reaction. I forgot to do that yesterday and last night was rather rough. I felt unwell and have the sorest arm yet. I still feel unwell….resting the rest of the day. My BG is running a little high. I’m glad I...

    COVID jab

    I got the Moderna booster today. Got the flu vaccine last week. I got post covid syndrome last year, after a relatively mild case of covid. Just got smell/taste back a couple of months ago. Some symptoms linger. Sorry, just realized this is type 2 thread…..

    Blood sugar dropping rapidly while running. Carbs not being absorbed.

    Did you find any remedies for your exercise hypo issue? I just saw this and thought I’d chime in. I used to have hypo incidences with exercise on a regula basis. Earlier this year, i switched to a Medtronic 780 wifh G4 cgm. I stay in the Smart Guard mode, which provides insulin up to every 5...

    Diabetic feet

    Oh, then please check the B6 asap. My neurologist was very cautionary about it causing neuropathy symptoms. He said it’s usually reversible though. Hopefully, your doctor can figure it out, if that’s the case. When my symptoms started, I saw my first neurologist, who did a lot of tests and...

    I’m the same this week and I’m not alarmed. I have stayed the course and even bought 2 new dresses for my nephew’s wedding. I like the way they fit and I’m feeling healthy overall. I’m increasing my strength training and feel stronger! I’ll continue with my plan next week and expect I’ll...
