Congratulations! I am still on insulin - but only before bedtime. How is your A1c?

Regards,

Jersey Girl

Congrats. Does the doc think this is partly due to the benefits of CPAP therapy?

mostly due to weight loss. Sunday, I took my shot went to church, went inside with my daughters nobody was in the bible study class I figured Id go wait in the car a few,-next thing I knew it was 45 minutes later(I had blacked out apparantly) and then I get in my car proceeded to drive home then next thing I knew I woke up in the car on the wrong side of the sidewalk in someones yard-made it home my asked wife asked where my daughters were-I had forgotten them at church. She suggested I test my blood sugar it was 52. Had a horrid headache and sweating like a mule. Called the doc he said time to try a day with out the insulin but have it handy.

Glad you made it home Ok with a low bloodsugar. That had to be unnerving. It will be great if you can stop taking your insulin Hoping for the best.
