[QUOTE="rhaardoerfer, post: 2684248, member: 585149"] I wanted to post an update. I have been frustrated and it is totally not logical, but I feel that I need to spell it all out to actually believe that all is doing really well. I reduced Metforming from 1000 mg/day to 500 mg/day 12 days ago. My blood sugar average and standard deviation are a little higher but my estimated A1C is still at 5.6. In addition, this was not the only change - at least somewhat. And as a research methodologist, I know that making multiple changes makes any predictions much harder. I am still dealing with the weird cold/flu I contracted a few weeks ago. So, there is still some stress on my body, which also leads me to work less. And I am also having a lot of stress at work right now. So, I should just be happy. It‘s just stressing me out and sleep has also not been great. I went for a guided run this morning with the topic of joy. It helped get me out of my morning funk. Now, I wanted to share my experience and feelings here. I want to thank everybody on this forum for all the support. Knowing that there are people here who listen and also understand - at least partially - what my experiences are is invaluable. Thank you!
