Happy Pancreas

So this is more of an update, based on what I was talking about a couple of "posts" ago.

Today was the first day on my program to check weight and measurements. I was dreading today, as it really hadn't felt like I had progressed a whole lot.

Granted, my blood sugars have been AMAZING since I started. They've completely stabled out, and I've cut my insulin needs almost in half. Which, in fairness, is fantastic. So when I pulled out the measuring tape, and stepped on the scale, I kept thinking "no matter what, my pancreas is happy".

The number on the scale was higher than I'd hoped, but lower than when I started - down 3lbs.

So I started doing my measurements, thinking that there wasn't much change. To my surprise, I'd lost an inch or two in every spot I needed to measure - 19 inches overall. 

So in 11 days, I'm down 3lbs, down 19 inches, and have had the most stable blood sugars I've ever had, with less insulin.
Not as bad as I thought.

  1. That's awesome Jen, I'm glad this is working for you. I'm still trying to figure out how I can lose the last 10 lbs, it's been a long struggle.
