Now this is what I call progress!!

[cincywbbw]

Yesterday morning I woke to a blood sugar of 273, it never goes down below 200 not ever!! So yesterday was my very frist day of induction, I followed it to the letter, by night time my Blood sugar was 198 before dinner ,220 after wards, normally it would be over 300 after eating. This was somewhat a let down.... until I tested this morning..You can not imagine my shock, when I had a reading 168!!! I was jumping for joy!!! Well not literally because my foot is broke..but you get the idea. I will adjust my isinulin accordingly to keep this this success going!!

This is just one more great reason for me to stick thru The induction and beyond!!!

I cant wait to get to that point, this taking 4 and 5 shots a day is greuling and very hard to maintain.

Cindy if you stickwith it i bet by your next lab tests, you at least get to cut back. It took only 3 weeks of the atkins for the doc to take me off all meds.

Well my next appt is on jan 17th, with the endocrinoligist. We shall see, I am adjusting the meds myself for now to keep from going too low. I do however worry about my colesterol level, which I was able to get to normal with medication and cutting out all fried food...hopefully it will balance out in time.

My husband and I are both doing atkins and he has problems with blood pressure and cholestrol and His meds were lowered in november and he needs to go to the lab now. We are guessing he will be off those to. This WOE rocks!

I don't have diabetes, but my cholesterol was around 200 when I started Atkins...a year later I tested again and it was 160. Not too shabby!

Hey Cindy,

That's great news - it sure is a great feeling!! Keep up the great work.

And great for you too, Tracie!!

As an example, my fasting BG readings at first were around 120-140. Now, 95% of the time they're below 90 and 99.55 of the time below 100.

As for my cholesterol, when I started, it was 226 - the last time it was 121.
