@larand there's a reason I have a 6S Plus :P
That said, I'm not sure I want the bigger iPhone when I buy one next time…
@kdfrawg what he told me was that my A1C would likely go up half a point once I stopped taking Metformin, which would bring it to 5.5 (assuming I get to 5.0 and what he says is true).
But still, a lot of what I read suggests you can stop taking Metformin with A1C levels as high as 7.
@kdfrawg The problem is that you don't expend nearly as much energy as you think by exercising. There are other reasons you should exercise, of course, but exercise alone won't make up for a poor diet.
While I understand how society views it, I don't consider fasting extreme at all. In fact, it's a perfectly natural phenomenon. Think about what a bear does: it eats a lot during the spring and summer months, fattening itself up before it goes into hibernation for several months. During that time? The bear is definitely not eating. What keeps the bear alive? Stored body fat.
We have a 24x7 all-you-can-eat buffet at our disposal. We can eat and eat and eat, but unlike bears, we don't hibernate. Instead, we keep eating and get things like Type 2 Diabetes.
@indigo if I place a mobile order, they know I'm not THAT far away :P

@matigo meanwhile, I just did an internal order for one of our appliances and it's already been processed, less than 24 hours after I submitted it. Which is some kind of record as I've had license requests take longer than that :)
When I get the appliance will be a different question, but at least it's gone through the internal ordering process.
@matigo in the intermediate term (next couple months), I want to lose another 15 pounds (6.78 kilos). My next goal will be to get where I was 15 years ago, which is at least another 30 pounds less than that.
Can’t wait to take my blood test so I can find out what my A1C is. Bet it’s way lower than 6.5 with these #bgnow readings.
I guess when I only eat a meal every other day, the weight really comes off. I'm down 5 pounds (2.26 kilos) over the last 7 days.
