One of the Biggest Reasons

I got a notice that it was time to re-order some of my meds.
I logged onto Walgreens site and when I checked the status I had this display.
This picture is one of the reasons why it was worth it for my company to cover my surgery.
I have switched from U500 ($1500/40 day supply) to U100 ($200/40 day supply) and reduced the total amount.
I have already stopped 2 of my meds.
I am no longer taking Metformin or Gemfibrizol. 
I doubt they will put me back on Metformin with how my numbers have been going. 

I switched to a new Insulin Pump, the Medtronic 670G with the Guardian CGM.
Been dealing with some learning and a few issues with the CGM and it crashing low.
Think part of the issue is I am just getting over taking a blood thinner to keep me from clotting after surgery.
I am having some awesome numbers tho and expect my A1c to be really good when they take it in 2 months.
If I stay at that average for the next 2 months, I will have an A1c of 5.6.
My trainer is amazed that I am within range so well.
I reduced my range down from 135 to 100.
I don't want to be 135 since it won't bolus thru the wizard at that level.

This is my unofficial weight, but close, I am sure, since I did compare it to the doctor office and is down from 374.9 pounds at my final weigh in before starting.
That is 59.3 pounds.
I go in to the doctor in a week and expect to be in the 30? range.



I know I am going to have to work thru body image issues.
Elsolel posted a pic that I was looking good and I am still trying to match new me to old me, especially with as fast as it has come off.
I still don't look at myself and see it.
I know that is why I have to do the compare pics.
So I can see a real difference and work on believing it.

Pics for this week.
There are differences.
I really have a problem seeing the difference with full clothes on.

Different types of pics but you can see a difference.
