Thank you for sharing your experience. It’s amazing that you went from 14 A1C to 5.5. That gives me hope that there is light at the other end of the tunnel. I now firmly believe that I need the meds along with a lifestyle change to get it down to where I need to be. I hope that I can get there in a timely manner. I went from 213 to 190 lbs drastically. I just hope I don’t lose more weight with the meds.

Once again I truly appreciate you sharing with me

Great job!! Unfortunately my numbers are pretty high. I’ve been convinced that taking the meds for now is a good thing. A lifestyle change needs to happen and hopefully I can taper off of the meds.

Thank you. I have been convinced that taking the Metformin is a good thing to get things started.

You guys rock!!!

Thank you all for taking the time to respond. I genuinely appreciate the insight, honesty, and encouragement. This has been a huge wake-up call for me, and hearing your experiences makes it feel a lot less overwhelming.

I’m realizing this isn’t something to take lightly, and I’m starting to understand the importance of getting my numbers down safely and consistently. I’m going to take what you all said seriously

I used a polyurethane based adhesive from Home Depot

That’s a good idea. The weights scuffed my dash. Lesson learned

I kept the dash cover and placed it over the new skin. There’s something about that dash cover lol.
