I'm sorry I haven't been updating my blog like I've wanted to. It's been hard because I've been working a lot more and we just moved into the house so it's been kind of hectic. Despite that, I have been able to bring my A1c down from an 8.8 to an 8.0. I also lost 6.5lbs within the last couple of months, which isn't a lot, but still great because I haven't even been trying to lose weight. I also was able to get my thyroid levels under control finally.
Elliot's A1c has been brought down to an 8.0 as well. While it's because he's had more lows than anything, we have been working on fixing it. His thyroid levels are also fine and he is growing perfect and weighs what he should weigh.
Which brings me to my next thing. I want to start a movement. Whether it be on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram... I don't care. Whenever someone conquers their diabetes, I want them to hashtag "suck on that diabetes". So say you're blood sugars have been running high, and you finally are able to get your numbers to get in line because you've been working at it, you do #suckonthatdiabetes. Or you get your tests back and they are better than they were before, you write #suckonthatdiabetes. Or even when you realize that your pediatric endo said that you would be blind, barren and on dialysis by the time you were 25, and you are 26 turning 27 and you can see, your kidneys are functioning perfectly well and you have a beautiful 2 1/2 year old boy, that warrants a #suckonthatdiabetes. We'll call it the "Suck it Diabetes" movement. That's right, diabetes can suck it!
So spread the word. Let's come together, help and support each other, and yell at the top of our lungs #suckonthatdiabetes!
