Good news: Less Meds Bad News: Feeling unsure.

Good AM/PM all, So all went well with my visit to D-Rex. Blood work was perfect and my A1C is too. He wants to reduce my Metformin to two pills a day, which is pretty awesome! However, I'm not too sure if this is the right time yet. It's not that I don't trust his process but it's more I don't trust mine. I still tend to eat (at times) food that is not so great for me. I lack willpower at times I guess. Eating foods that are good for Diabetics isn't as simple as some would like to think. I have always theorized that finding balance between what I need to eat and what I want to eat is what works best for me. Of course it's much more easy to do so if you are on a bunch of pills that can interact with the not so low carb foods. For example, I ate about 12 oz. of dried fruit w/nuts last night and it was my first night not taking my other two Metformin meds. My fasting number this morning was 127..which is a little high for me. This tells me to rethink my late night snacking. I understand that I may be overthinking this but I want to take the steps now to insure my A1C stays normal. I have enough issues with my old eyes and pretty feet. LOL!
I feel like I am leaps and bounds ahead of this thing and I want to keep going and do what is best for myself. I will watch my late snacking and morning readings much closer and see what will happen. If I know I am doing right to help myself and my numbers continue to rise... I may have to take the other two meds again. I won't do anything until I have collected enough data to warrant contacting D-Rex and concern. It is pretty exciting that he would think I was ready to take fewer meds but I am still a bit apprehensive about it all. However I do trust him and will do what he ask. All in all it is a good day to still be alive and for now... that is all that matters. Have a great week all!
