It’s down to 6.2 again. It was higher before.

That's good can you take metformin? @bijouxbroussard

bijouxbroussard · F

@SW-User Yes, and I do before breakfast and supper each day.

SW-User

@bijouxbroussard well keep it like that and you'll be fine

@SW-User I’m definitely working on it. I’ve changed everything.

@bijouxbroussard does losing weight help ?

bijouxbroussard · F

@SW-User It definitely does. When I cut out processed sugar and replaced starches with more green veggies, I lost weight, too. And my numbers came down. I was diagnosed in 2016 so I’m still working it out.

That's great I want to lower my A1c to 5.0 instead of 5.4@bijouxbroussard

bijouxbroussard · F

@SW-User okay. But 5.4 is normal range. 5.7 to 6.4 is prediabetic. I’ve taken so many classes about it in the last two years.

SW-User

5.4 is too close to 5.7 plus that was 2 yrs ago and I was skinnier 😑@bijouxbroussard

@SW-User I see.
