I am almost rendered speechless....those of you who are not familiar with diabetes probably have no way of really understanding what it is like...but for those of you that do-
Well, you will either be amazed or believe I am crazy or a liar.
Last night we went to dinner at a friends house (the same ones I posted about 3 weeks ago)
Actually you will need to read this post to fully understand what I am about to share:
Dinner at a friends
They had more of the Kahlua Chocolate Cheesecake!
I had some BBQ chicken, salad, baked potato (the potato alone would have sent my blood sugar through the roof 6 months ago)
AND
2 pieces of the cheesecake.
After we came home, I had another piece of the cheesecake (thinking to myself, uh-oh I have for sure overdone it now).
About 45 minutes later I did a blood test to measure my sugar level.
I could not believe it! I had to do the test a second time! The first showed it at 82 and the second at 83!
My brain is telling me this is NOT possible. But today we tested the blood testing machine to make sure it is working properly. It is.
I do not know if I can say I am cured of diabetes, or just tremendously improved. I do not know if it will "stick" if I quit using the module.
All I know is that I am having a hard time computing that I can eat over a 1000 grams of simple carbs and have my blood sugar be lower than it was when I was eating less than 100 grams of carbs.

P.S. I know I have tried to be "the voice of reason" on this board, encouraging people not to expect fantastic results quickly. That as a rule, it takes time to see significant results.
This is no different....I have been using various test modules for diabetes for over a year now, and have been on the "Finished-soon to be released-diabetes module for about 4 months. So this is no different, the body and mind can take time to change.
But WHO CARES! One year to get rid of something that I would have otherwise lived the rest of my life with!!!! That is just fine with me!
