They kept me pumped up and on meds for two years before the right doctor came along... who told me he could have me off all meds in six months if I would cooperate with him (diet and exercise)... My A1c came down to 4.9 to 5.4 and stayed that way for the past 17 years with no meds at all. I'm a big eater, but eat the right foods and have maintained my weight within 2 to 3 pounds. I'm very active; walking and work in the garden and don't even bother testing... maybe once every week or so. At fasting I'm at 89-94 and rarely spike. No alcohol, tobac or any drugs. I'm 74, 6'-2" and try to maintain my weight. I'm single and I'm very active sexually and I only see my PCP every 6 months and my DPM every 2 months. I don't know if I'm lucky or just eating the right foods... and I thank God, constantly... and I ain't changing a thing unless told differently... and the one thing I know for sure; The Stones are not acting, they're being themselves.

Thank you, God...
