Personal Note

I am so excited about my latest bloodwork.  I had bloodwork done Friday and saw the doctor today.  My A1C number was 6.1  It has been 6.1 since I have been seeing this doctor last May.  He told me that was very good.  I was especially pleased since this test was done over the months of November and December and all the holiday goodies.  Since I started out my diabetic diagnosis 6 years ago with a B/S reading of 500, I am sharing this information with you to let you know that eating correctly can help you control diabetes.  I am on 2 Janumet tablets a day and I do the rest with my diet.  I do eat sweets but have learned how to work them into my diet.  Birthday-type cakes are my favorite food.  I am pleased to say I have not given them up.  I have a piece of cake at every birthday celebration but I always eat it with a tablespoon of peanut butter.  Works everytime.  I also watch what I eat for the meal before and after the cake.
