Interesting. Another reason to add an aspirin to my handful of morning pharmaceuticals. I kicked Glucovance three years ago when I dropped 40 pounds and started hitting the gym three days a week. In fact, at my six-month yesterday, my A1c was a nice, healthy 6.0 and my plasma glucose was 99. BP 130/70. I think I'll add a Bayer to help keep it that way.

Your plasma glucose is 99? Mine is too, and my doctor is telling me to get it down because I am officially “pre-diabetic.” Apparently people whose blood sugar is in the 99-105 range are definitely destined for DMII if they don’t get it down.

Congratulations!
That was no mean feat!

The main reason I’ve been a stickler for keeping weight off is that my sister was a type 1 brittle diabetic.
God love her...life was not easy for her.
Even so, she never complained...just did what she had to do.

I knew I didn’t want to live her life, though.

I wish you much continued success!
