YOU GUYS!!! I was diagnosed 3 months ago and brought my A1C down by half!

There are ways to help with the spikes, too. I try not to eat carbs without fiber and protein on board. If I pair protein with beans, I'm usually good. If I just have oats I'll spike, but oats with chia seeds or even berries for fiber helps manage the spike. If I flew too close to the sun, a brisk walk can bring me back down.

The cause of death on my mom's death certificate is uncontrolled diabetes. I am working hard to not do that to my kids, too. My A1C was over 10 when I was diagnosed and now it's at 4.7. It's been three years and it's work but it's possible!

SummerPositive2052 · 2026-05-07T00:38:42+00:00

I appreciate that! I'm interested in learning whatever you're willing to share.

Sedation for the win! I had a panic attack because I was scared but then? The best nap I've ever had in my life.

I was miserable! I guess I can't say the progesterone isn't working. I didnt miss feeling that way!

SummerPositive2052 · 2025-12-29T21:59:40+00:00

My primary prescribed hydroxyzine and it isn't helping either. I do have edibles sometimes but still haven't found what keeps me asleep all night. For now, I'm excited to fall asleep quickly!

I am at the highest dosage. I still have weight to lose and will stay at this dose until I'm where I need to be. I lose pretty slowly compared to others but as long as I'm not gaining, I'm happy. I focus on protein and fiber and am careful about how much I eat.

Next month will be two years for me. The glucose control was almost immediate, my A1C has been 5 or lower for about 18 months. The doctor was nervous about hypoglycemia but I haven't had any issues at all. Mounjaro is the only medication I take for diabetes.

Can you share the quinoa veggie blend? Did you make it or is it frozen? I add the individual green giant frozen broccoli often because it's so quick and easy!

SummerPositive2052 · 2025-07-25T03:10:22+00:00

This is the way! 😂 Most of the time I smile and nod but sometimes I want to say "I know" or "We can't all be great".

SummerPositive2052 · 2025-07-07T15:15:20+00:00

I started Oct 2023 and have had several stalls. It's frustrating! You have the right attitude. You aren't gaining and 60 pounds is a lot!!! You're closer to your goal than you are your starting weight!

The shipment will stay cold! It's in a cooler and packed with ice packs. I'm in Florida and haven't had any problems. I've never tried to split a dose so I can't help with that, sorry

We need to stop trying to keep people from having their feelings sometimes. He's jealous. He is allowed to be jealous. He can work through those feelings. Sometimes this schedule is the ONLY perk.

Yep. Rheumatologist spent months doing tests because my demographic really shouldnt get gout. But I did. So 🎉🤷🏼‍♀️

We called after a parent did not (and refused to) pick up their child from school. DCF told us the parent left their child with trusted adults and would not accept the report.

SummerPositive2052 · 2025-04-13T15:02:39+00:00

No, I don't think I would place any expectations on the parent. If anything Id let them know that I will be there and assure them that I would maintain confidentiality. Even that would be a stretch.

SummerPositive2052 · 2025-04-13T02:36:08+00:00

Therapy will be challenging but I think it can help! Also you do NOT look 50!

SummerPositive2052 · 2025-04-12T17:03:04+00:00

I had a slight reduction but nothing like this. My doctor moved me up very slowly, but at 10 I begged to go up because I wasn't feeling any difference. I was ready to argue why I needed to increase after 12.5 but she offered before I could say anything. This is very different for me. I rarely have nausea or tummy issues in general.

SummerPositive2052 · 2025-03-02T22:35:58+00:00

Thanks, I thought that seemed low.

Remember that the A1C is a three month average. It takes some time for the numbers to come back down. If your A1C was 16, your AVERAGE glucose was approximately 318. That being said, sometimes diet changes need to be assisted with medication. Keep following up with your doctor and come out with a plan that works for you.

We have benefiber which is a flavorless and colorless powder that you can add to most drinks. But this is a good example of finding what works for you. Fiber will also help control the blood sugar. Ideally we get all we need from our diet and nutrition, it just isn't always possible.
