I went to the doctor on Feb. 5th and found out my blood sugar A 1 C has been consistently high. So he put me on a medication called Glimeperide. This is pretty frustrating to me. I was really hoping to be able to lose weight and control my blood sugar by diet. I have lost about 19 pounds now. I realize this is fairly good, to have lost that much weight, since August. That's about 3-4 pounds a month. I know I can do better than that though. I have to. Otherwise, according to the doctor, I'm looking at going on insulin. So I don't really have a choice to avoid that, but to lose weight and exercise, to help my Pancreas function better. I am going to start seeing the dietitian again, March 7th. Hopefully that will help me stay motivated, to eat right, more consistently. I also want to post my diet on here. That should help me be a little more accountable. But, mostly it will show what I have to eat, in order to lose the weight I need to and control the Diabetes. And maybe help some people reading this to learn how to do that, for themselves, if need be, too.
 I  mentioned earlier that I want to post my diet sometime soon. Well here it is; summed up:

  This is a good diet, if you have Kidney Disease or Diabetes. It's pretty strict, but doable. I have been diagnosed with both of these diseases. So this is the diet I am on. It was prepared, for me, by a dietitian.  I've been on it now, for about 5 months. Although I have waiverd some, in doing so, I have still lost about 16 pounds. (according to the Drs, scales) 19 (according to our scales).
