Hi Shirley,

That is great. I don't think a few high numbers will effect your A1c very

much. If your doctor does want you to go on meds, please remind him/her of

the Prednisone. Three more months will not make that much of a difference

between being on meds and not. I think your doctor will work with you.

That is great Shirley. You are well on your way to controlling your bg's.

Keep up the good work.

Losing
