Diabetes

So, it's not 3 months later, but my A1C number is down to 7.5.

And the Educator gave me the go to stop Insulin (at least for now).

I never mentioned the Blood Clot in my leg (which happened not long after the ER visit), which seems kind of status quo, not bad, but not ideal. The Blood Thinner I'm on, I'm to take at least until March. At that point, i may need another ultrasound and to see the Hematologist again.

I also am having Heartburn/Acid Reflux, although ever since lowering the Metformin to 2 500mg per day, it's been less frequent. Tums though is very short/limited relief. I'm having an Echo Heart test in a few weeks.

It's not been easy, but I am getting used to it.
