[QUOTE="IronLioness, post: 2003274, member: 492004"] Hopefully.... :) Carrying on from my last post about changes after diagnosis, I went in for my first BG test and review since diagnosis of T2 in October, I was first diagnosed with a hba1c reading of 49. My results have come back with a reduced reading of 41, happy girl, woohoo! Officially, the Doc states I'm out of diagnosis and have 'reversed' it - I don't like nor agree with that description, and, I know I'm not actually out of the woods, it's a lifelong condition, it won't go away - BUT I can do what I can to keep it from coming 'back', as such. I didn't do anything fancy, no special measures, I'm not on meds - and didn't take them when offered by Doc - I took the change of lifestyle option, staying consistent, but thinking long term, rather than short term. Good diet and working out again consistently, and reducing the work stress which was OTT. I built a new lifestyle for myself. Everything feels like it's changed since I got that diagnosis, it feels odd because it's made me stop, take stock of life and where it was going, and take ownership of overall lifestyle. It's an ongoing process, I'm learning lots, but feeling positive about a healthy future. Keep going, folks, putting this thing into 'remission' is doable. Keeping it in remission might be another mission, but one step at a time, one win at a time, and I'll take today as a positive step in the right direction. :) [/QUOTE]
