It's not just about weight loss! I am no longer on pills for diabetes, and myt blood sugar is never out of control. And I just got my tests back and my osteoporosis has reversed...probably due to weight loss and weight bearing exeercise.

That is awesome! I, too, have stopped all my diabetes meds. I quit them a couple days before surgery. I was taking a pill morning and night that gave me horrid diahrea and two shots of medicine in the belly before my two largest meals.(not insulin) I am so glad to be rid of them all! I have also been able to stop the cholesterol med. and am looking forward to ditching some b.p. med. once I have lost enough weight!

:bounce:

Congrats on the meds. That is my goal is to get off all this expensive meds. I am diabetic. So, congrats to you.

Congratulations. I have my follow up appt with my endocrinologist on 9/18. I have to do bloodwork. I am hoping my A1C is even better.The last time (3 months ago) it was 6.4 with average level being 138. The doc told me to stop taking the meds (4mg glimiperide), monitor and if it goes up to start taking a half pill as opposed to the whole pill in the morning. I have been taking my blood sugar and it has been good so I have not had to take any for quite some time.
