Well we have been on this journey for 4 months now and Rob is doing awesome! He's lost 30# since August, and feels MUCH better, he still has off days but not as many, and isn't as stiff & sore going up stairs, and has less tummy issues for the most part (other than Glucophage side effects lol). We got his blood tests back, and at our visit the Dr told him that he may have to go on insulin depending on how his insulin levels were averaging....well his levels are still elevated but LOTS lower than they were! WOOT WOOT! No insulin for Rob!
The 1st results will be Augusts, the 2nd will be the results we got today:
Glucose 338 High! 145 High
AST (SGOT) 48 High 15 Normal
ALT (SGPT) 68 High 19 Normal
Microalbuminuria 32 High 39.8 High
Microalb/Crea Ration 74.2 High 36.7 High (but improved)
Hemoglobin ALC 12.5 High 7.9 High but Much Better!!! (this is the test that determined if Rob needed insulin in addition to Glucophage, Dr said if it was higher than a 9 he was going to need insulin)
Vitamin D 5.8 Low!!!! 24.9 Low but up but still too low!
Thyroid Panel ran this time was normal but borderline so we will discuss at next visit in 3 months
I am over the moon with his results, and VERY VERY proud of him!
