New A1c since I started MDI January 9th

New A1c results
My results are in. 6.6 which is the lowest A1c I've ever had. And, this with many high PP numbers. This new doctor keeps telling me he doesn't care about my PP numbers, he wants my A1c to be a certain number. He says this is high. He wants it consistently in the 5.5 range. I'm thinking that in order to get lower, I will HAVE to watch my PP numbers, no?
At least he is much more aggressive than my first endo who told me that my goal was 7.0. Good news is that the damage previously showin

Perfect day so far...

Before Lunch: 87
After Lunch: 116
I am actually having the best day I've ever had and I only shot 7 units of Novalin R last night because I was out of Lantus. I actually haven't had to use the Novalin since the second day

Thank you for checking in on me! I am doing well. Surprisingly well. Jan. 1 at 1:00am will be 2 weeks. I can't believe it! I still think about it (obviously). LIke this morning. I got to work, parked the car, and the first thing I thought of as I got out was "gee, I'd love a cigarette". But, I can now dismiss those thoughts and move on.
Happy New Year and thanks for thinking about me!

- How did you do it? George did the patch. My husband did the patch. I've tried the patch 3 times and it made my arm hurt, so I'm a little scared to do that, but not sure i have the strength to go cold-turkey. Let me know what worked for you. and CONGRATS!

- Hi, Jolie,
The best web page I have found is sproutpeople.com which gives lots of info on how to sprout. Some of the things I have found out by myself by experimenting. I use whole oats, wheat, barley and rye and soak them overnight, then let them sprout for about 16-24 hours. I use about 1/4 cup dry. I sprout them in an automatic sprout machine, but you can just put them on a plate and spray/rinse them every 8 hours or so. You eat them when they just have a tiny sprout, don't wait for leaves. I add nuts- roasted hazlenuts and sliced almonds and a few raisins and eat it for breakfast with plain yogurt or milk. Chewy and good and doesn't raise my BG much. I exercise after breakfast and take regular insulin before hand. I do the regular sprouts like alfalfa and have been enjoying peas and lentils as sprouts as a salad for lunch. I'm a first grade teacher and don't do insulin at school so need a low carb meal. Another great thing to sprout it peanuts. You just need to soak them and they taste completely different. So do sunflower seeds. I am excited to be able to eat something low carb and nutritous other than eggs, meat and cheese.
