I don't even know how this is possible, but my A1C came down!
That's right, in just a month it dropped from 7.3 to 6.7! Don't ask me how because I have no clue, but I must be doing something right!
I of course had to explain why I didn't want Tresiba, or a pump, or blah blah blah. I am probably going to need a new Dexcom (G5?) once my receiver dies. But I don't need all the bells and whistles and all the issues that come with medical devices that deliver insulin when syringes do the job just fine.
I am going to get some R and start using that to help cover my food so I have some smoother lines. That's my next goal...ironing everything out.

Thyroid labs and another diabetes appointment coming up
It's been a little while since my last entry and I've been busy with work, PT twice a week, video games, and running a household. I got my thyroid labs back today with a new prescription change.
Apparently, my Free T3 is too high so we're cutting my dose back to 90mg a day...hopefully that will help. Also, my Antibody levels have come down some more! Yay! (remember how they were 610 when I was diagnosed?)
I have an appointment with Carrie on Wednesday, but I'm not expecting it to go well. MySugr has my estimated A1C at 6.9% (it dipped down to 6.8 for a day and then went back up). They're averaging about 150. I'm just struggling to get my numbers down. I am NOT trying Tresiba, and I'm about ready to try a different NP.
