I did go to the doctor's yesterday and they took blood, the A1C is high, but not as high as I suspected. The diet is what I start focusing on and that is the old tried and true Atkins. I did well today, I have to find some different dressing.. found one that was zero carb.. but not thrilled with it. Back to reading labels like a mad man. I am working on the strictness of the diet as I know I can do that.. the working out that I need to do is something that I dread as I have lost a lot of ground since the last time I was trying it. Thanks for the responses.
