I had a follow-up doctor’s appointment today. this was to test my progress after taking diabetes medication and changing my diet for one month. My diet did not require a lot of changes since I had already made most of them when hubby was diagnosed with diabetes in February 2010.
The good news is the doc was VERY pleased with my progress!! Long story short, my weight on January 4th was 286 (although my scales at home show about 4 pounds less 
- evil doctor scales). My weight today *drum roll please* 271 pounds!! I’ve lost 15 pounds and most of that was in February!! I’m definitely feeling the motivation!
To help with the weight loss and to get my morning glucose numbers a little closer to where they should be, the doctor also started me on an injection today. Giving myself a shot – quite a new experience, but surprisingly not unpleasant. I think I convinced myself it was going to be horribly painful, but in reality, I didn’t even feel the needle go in. That will teach me to psych myself out.
Until next time!!
