I was hoping my blood sugar levels would be down to 8.0 by now,that is 144,instead they are 15.0,that's 270.But the nurse said to go slowly,so as not to put strain on the heart.I just have to keep going with the diet and watch what I eat,the weight will come off and the blood sugar levels will drop accordingly.Next tuesday I am going to weigh myself on the large scales at the pharmacy.
