I've lost 18 lbs since starting the Victoza, lost about 3 dress sizes, and that's not really the good part. :) the good part? My HbA1C is 5.9. Average people, normal people, have A1C's of 4 - 5.9. :) 

My doc said his day was made at how well I'm responding to the medication and how happy I seem to be on it.

Some tweaks to see if I can get my fasting sugar lower, but otherwise, keep on keeping on! 

I've been having terrible nightmares and having a ton of trouble sleeping.

This holiday season in particular, I'm having a _ton_ of trouble dealing with the Holiday Sugar Craze. As I'm continuing this journey on maintaining good blood sugar control, overindulging is now even more obvious in the immediate - high blood sugars make me feel like _crap_ and trigger lows that make me feel worse.
I know people are trying to be nice and generous during this time, but I really really do not want to go down into the kitchen at work, and am happy I'm avoiding being in the office today as its apparently "Cake Day" - already, gingerbread cookies, cinnamon rolls, muffins, various chocolate cakes are being advertised on the local office mailing list. I love gingerbread. LOVE it. :(


I dont know why in particular its so difficult this year, but I just wanted to note it to comment to myself.

(Results from the doc are in, my internal estimates were correct, just a boot to the ass to get myself in gear again regarding being consistent about exercise.)

Upcoming: starting to keep a food log, keeping up on the exercise log and bg logs - looking back at my bg / exercise logs, I can see where I'm falling off, and the correlation between the two.
