Well..had my appt with the doc last nite after work....we got off and ran home ...then dropped our puters off at the house ..ran back out to see Dr. Herter...he's the one that set me up as a diabetic...well.....he's excited ...there is some research going on with a colleque of his that shows promise......it's being tested and what they found was a gene that can arrest diabeties and give the panchreas a chance to still produce insulin to the body....they did test a dozen kids with serious type 1 diabetes and it really changed the problem in a good way.....
so..with that said...it's still in research so it has a way to go.....a person like myself that is mild type one would benefit from it....
so....I'm controlling my diabetes well....my readings are right where they want it....i'm not using a lot of lantis so that's good...and he doesn't want to see me for 6 mos.....oh yeah...he's getting me a new meter...this one is old and he wants me to have a new one with all the bells and whistles on it....gotta love it......
so...this was a good one.....hope everyone is having a great summer.....
