good luck Coletha, well I am getting there, just hope its where they want it by the time I go to test (end of Feb) I'm taking Novo Rapid 25-35 units with B/L/D and Lantus 65 Units at bed time Plus metformin, Januvia and Diamicron! Trying to follow the diabetic eating plan I got which is 30-45g carbs for B/ 45-60g carbs for L and dinner and 15g snack between meals and bedtime 15-30g. I recently got news that my parathyroid is high with Calcium high and vit D low...could be a sign of renal failure or a parathyroid growth....i just need to get that surgery to start losing some weight then I can deal with some of the other stuff!

I am currently in this boat. I was asked to recheck my A1C in 8-12 weeks (from beginning of January) here we are 4 weeks later and I haven't done much if anything. I went out and bought all the good foods for my diabetic eating plan, but have no motivation and or always unfocused. I know I have roughly 8 weeks left...just really need to get my head in the game, but I felt that way too when I got the news.

So I had my last bariatric appointment early January. I was asked by the diabetic nurse to get my A1C down from 10.2! I decided to give myself 8 weeks from January 1st, but so far have not been consistent. I was told to leave 8-12 weeks before going back to the lab for the A1C test. Life is crazy right now and I'm so not focused on the weight loss surgery or managing my sugars right now. I'm so unfocused, I feel like I should be on an insulin pump. Just venting, but if anyone has experience, please feel free to share with me.
