Thanks Terry!
I’m already cutting down on meal sizes/frequency and started taking a small (500 mg) daily dose of Metformin, possibly to be increased later.
I’ll look at the glucose monitory you recommended. The ability to track/offload to computer blood sugar data would be a plus.
2 measurements taken after my fasting for 12 hours my numbers were: 200+ and 188. NO ES BUENO.
Well, better to have discovered it now than later.
Thanks again,
marty
Dear Martin,
180 and 200, oh my. Not as bad as my darling beloved, who started at +400!!
Meal frequencies must be 3 meals, or 5 mini-meals, because you don’t want to bottom out, either.
The meter keeps a record, and has an infrared sensor in it.
I was on metformin for a while, and then a couple of years ago, with all the blood results on record, my V.A. primary guy took me off. I measure in the morning, while staring at my coffee and breakfast.
Remember, ‘inner strength’ is having a dark hershey chocolate bar, breaking it into smaller pieces, and eating only ONE small piece.
