Guest guest Posted July 25, 2002 Report Share Posted July 25, 2002 Well, I am finally losing instead of gaining! Last week my doctor took me off Avandia (I had regained 10 lbs in six weeks!) and put me back on Glucophage and still the gliburide. She called me today with the results of my blood tests and in three months I have gone from 11.5 to 8! Not as good as some of you, but wonderful for me. I am still walking on the treadmill two to three times a day for 10-12 minutes, but sometimes it has kicked up a flare of the fibromyalgia and I have had to stop for a few days. I found that if I started out slow for about 2-3 minutes, then went considerably faster for at least 5-7 minutes and slowed down for the last 2 minutes, I felt better and had less pain. Also, I have had green salads with a couple of cherry tomatoes, bell pepper, brocklie and shredded cabbage and a piece of turkey pre-cooked bacon several times, but last night I added about a quarter cup (loosely packed - not very broken) of broken Dorito Nacho chips and wow! what a nice treat. I used chunky mild salsa for 'dressing' and my bg's were at 135 two hours later. My doctor told me to keep up what ever I am doing. She thinks I will be below 6.5 in either 3 or 6 months. Even though I am averaging low to high 100's, this is a huge improvement and I am really happy. I really think I can reach my goals. afra3a wrote: > > Shirley > > You just keep doing better and better!
