O how nice it does feel! now before I get to the truly blessed new from the

saw bones, I will tell you of the sister's luck at the neighborhood casino.

we went by there around eleven and on her very first $5 bill she put in a

quarter machine called wild cherries. 75 cents is the most you can bet if

you are playing max bet. my sister mainly plays only penny machines at maybe

20 or 30 cents a spin, but her blind brother the pig likes quarter machines.

so she sat down be side me and put a whole five dollars in the wild cherry

quarter machine which if she hadn't of been at that machine I would have

played it next. this is what I do when there isn't a pile of folks around

hogging the machines. it made noise the one she was on and us who can't see

we need noise when playing a slot machine. so what did she do you ask? her

very first spin! her very first 75 cent spin turned red and spung again, but

this free spin only landed on 3 wild cherries that were worth only 10,000

quarters! only a sad $2,500 on a little bitty 75 cent investment! she did

give me a C note out of it because if not for my doctor apt to day with the

specialist, she wouldn't have been in OKC this morning. she took me to my

apt and after the apt we went to the casino I like to go too and sure is a

mighty fine plan I had to go! Ok, now to the good news the set off the lucky

day for the pig and his sister. my A1C so said the doctor was 13.3 on March

8'th. 3 months ago. he put me on the 70 30 novelog flex pen and started me

out at 20 twice a day. he said to fax in my numbers for the next week and he

would have to adjust my dose higher because this is simply how he must do it

for most of his patients. I told him I was going to be a different kind of

patient and my dose would go down. I told him about this list and how much

you guys has taught me about how to control diabetes the right way. he may

not have totally believed me then? but I can promise you he believes now!

not only was he impressed with the 30 pounds lost in 3 months, but he was

blown away with my A1C of 5.9, which is a average sugar of 117 if my list is

correct. he said to drop from 13.3 to 5.9 in 90 days was way above what he

had in his mind that I would do. he didn't check my triglycerides to day and

plans to check them in the next visit in 3 months. he says he can all most

assure me they are very close to where they need to be with my A1C under

six. they were only 1400, but he made me feel a bit better when he said he

has seen triglycerides as high as 5,000 in some diabetics that wasn't in

control of there sugar. he told me to go on and finish up the novelog flex

70 30 mix pens that I still got and I can even go down to 5 units twice a

day until I use up the 3 pens I still have. then I start on ten units a day

only in the morning or evening of lantus. he said it didn't really matter if

I done it early or late, but do it the same once I started. now one thing he

did say that I don't understand. he said to start out at only ten, but if my

morning reading is under 130, then only do one less unit the next day. like

drop to nine if my reading is less then 130. I told him I haven't had a

reading over 130 in about ten weeks. he said by only using ten units of

lantis a day my numbers wasn't going to be a low. think I will call the

nurse next week and get them to explain this in a way that I can better

understand it. I can't figure out who was more excited with my A1C of 5.9

between him, me or the nurse? he said the 2 hours of riding my no where bike

has a whole lot to do with the huge drop in my A1C. he said my feet and the

rest of me looks grate. he said I don't even have to come in but every six

months if I would like, but I wish him to see me every 90 days and said I

will be back in September. I told him I can keep my A1C under six and I will

prove it to him every 3 months. he acted like he may have bought my story

this time. he did ask a lot of questions about you guys this time and I told

him how well some of you do who are T one's and how you are as old as dirt

and still kicking. he was impressed with this news as well. I do love you

guys and thank you more then you will ever know for all the help you have

taught me over the years about grate diabetes control. I always listened to

your good advice. I didn't always follow it, but that wasn't your fault. we

each must make that choice our self. I just proved that a A1C of over 13 can

be cut in half and more so in only 90 days of hard work and grate control

and I owe it all to the grate people on this list!

[Guest guest]

Congrats Mark,

That is an absolutely wonderful A1C. How much weight did you lose this

time? And Mark, DO break your arm patting yourself on the back. You

deserve it!

What an outstanding bit of news, Mark! We're all cheering for you, giving you

the " hip-hip-horray " chant!

Wouldn't it be terrific if doctors could begin telling their out of control

diabetics how change is possible, and how they can expect to reduce or even

eliminate meds, and expect to live healthy and productive lives? Too bad your

story can't be shared with millions of diabetics who think their luck has run

out, and that they have no options.

You've been a marvelous source of encouragement to all of us, Mark. Keep it up!

And, hip-hip-horray!

I started. now one thing he did say that I don't understand. he said to

start out at only ten, but if my morning reading is under 130, then only do

one less unit the next day. like drop to nine if my reading is less then

130. I told him I haven't had a reading over 130 in about ten weeks. he said

by only using ten units of lantis a day my numbers wasn't going to be a low.

think I will call the nurse next week and get them to explain this in a way

that I can better understand it. I can't figure out who was more excited

with my A1C of 5.9 between him, me or the nurse? he said the 2 hours of

riding my no where bike has a whole lot to do with the huge drop in my A1C.

he said my feet and the rest of me looks grate. he said I don't even have to

come in but every six months if I would like, but I wish him to see me every

90 days and said I will be back in September. I told him I can keep my A1C

under six and I will prove it to him every 3 months. he acted like he may

have bought my story this time. he did ask a lot of questions about you guys

this time and I told him how well some of you do who are T one's and how you

are as old as dirt and still kicking. he was impressed with this news as

well. I do love you guys and thank you more then you will ever know for all

the help you have taught me over the years about grate diabetes control. I

always listened to your good advice. I didn't always follow it, but that

wasn't your fault. we each must make that choice our self. I just proved

that a A1C of over 13 can be cut in half and more so in only 90 days of hard

work and grate control and I owe it all to the grate people on this list!

[Guest guest]

actually I got to many hero's on this diabetic list and you all was putting

me to shame for way to long, so since I couldn't get you guys to do it my way, I

had to join you instead! it simply wasn't one bit fair to me that you all could

achieve a A1C under 6 and I could only achieve a 12 or 13. so I think I got

jealous of your 6's and decided to cut my 13 in half so I could join the party.

you were all simply having to much fun with out me and you should always invite

a pig to any party!!!

Ladies and Germs! all please stand!

O how nice it does feel! now before I get to the truly blessed new from

the saw bones, I will tell you of the sister's luck at the neighborhood

casino. we went by there around eleven and on her very first $5 bill she put

in a quarter machine called wild cherries. 75 cents is the most you can bet

if you are playing max bet. my sister mainly plays only penny machines at

maybe 20 or 30 cents a spin, but her blind brother the pig likes quarter

machines. so she sat down be side me and put a whole five dollars in the

wild cherry quarter machine which if she hadn't of been at that machine I

would have played it next. this is what I do when there isn't a pile of

folks around hogging the machines. it made noise the one she was on and us

who can't see we need noise when playing a slot machine. so what did she do

you ask? her very first spin! her very first 75 cent spin turned red and

spung again, but this free spin only landed on 3 wild cherries that were

worth only 10,000 quarters! only a sad $2,500 on a little bitty 75 cent

investment! she did give me a C note out of it because if not for my doctor

apt to day with the specialist, she wouldn't have been in OKC this morning.

she took me to my apt and after the apt we went to the casino I like to go

too and sure is a mighty fine plan I had to go! Ok, now to the good news the

set off the lucky day for the pig and his sister. my A1C so said the doctor

was 13.3 on March 8'th. 3 months ago. he put me on the 70 30 novelog flex

pen and started me out at 20 twice a day. he said to fax in my numbers for

the next week and he would have to adjust my dose higher because this is

simply how he must do it for most of his patients. I told him I was going to

be a different kind of patient and my dose would go down. I told him about

this list and how much you guys has taught me about how to control diabetes

the right way. he may not have totally believed me then? but I can promise

you he believes now! not only was he impressed with the 30 pounds lost in 3

months, but he was blown away with my A1C of 5.9, which is a average sugar

of 117 if my list is correct. he said to drop from 13.3 to 5.9 in 90 days

was way above what he had in his mind that I would do. he didn't check my

triglycerides to day and plans to check them in the next visit in 3 months.

he says he can all most assure me they are very close to where they need to

be with my A1C under six. they were only 1400, but he made me feel a bit

better when he said he has seen triglycerides as high as 5,000 in some

diabetics that wasn't in control of there sugar. he told me to go on and

finish up the novelog flex 70 30 mix pens that I still got and I can even go

down to 5 units twice a day until I use up the 3 pens I still have. then I

start on ten units a day only in the morning or evening of lantus. he said

it didn't really matter if I done it early or late, but do it the same once

I started. now one thing he did say that I don't understand. he said to

start out at only ten, but if my morning reading is under 130, then only do

one less unit the next day. like drop to nine if my reading is less then

130. I told him I haven't had a reading over 130 in about ten weeks. he said

by only using ten units of lantis a day my numbers wasn't going to be a low.

think I will call the nurse next week and get them to explain this in a way

that I can better understand it. I can't figure out who was more excited

with my A1C of 5.9 between him, me or the nurse? he said the 2 hours of
