Thanks. I'm just going to make the best of it and be more determined than EVER to get my sugars so low that I won't need the medication OR the test strips.

Maybe by next Christmas??????? That would be a great Christmas present to myself.

well good news on the blood sugars, but sorry you don't qualify for the study anymore.''

keep up the great work

[Aggiette]

Well your good blood sugar is wonderfulnews!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks. I know it's good news as well as "bad" news. But this means now I'll have to continue to pay for my own very expensive blood sugar medication and the test strips. The study would have paid for meds and strips.

But maybe I'm about due for a medication adjustment and will be able to get off some of it. I'll keep striving for that as my ultimate goal. I want off ALL my diabetes medications!!!!!

That sounds like the typical Good News/Bad News phone call.

I'm happy for you in a big way. The fact that you've taken hold of your destiny and made such awesome strides in the right direction with weight loss and glucose control speaks volumes.

So, in a left handed sort of way...Congratulations on missing out on the Lantus trials.... http://boards.dietwatch.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

And said my blood sugars have improved so much on my own that I'm no longer eligible for the Lantus Insulin study!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So they're cancelling my doctor's appointment tomorrow where I was to be admininistered into the program.

Drat! Drat! and double DRAT!!!!

But she said they're very proud of me because I'm obviously doing a good job on my eating plan and losing weight and bringing my sugar level down. Although she DID nag about my need to increase my exercise. I was hoping THAT subject wouldn't come up. http://boards.dietwatch.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif
