I had an appointment yesterday b/p was 128/80 pulse 94 oxygen level 98% and weight 147. I had a 11 pound loss since my diagnosis of type 2 diabetes in April. I weighed 158 and lost 1 lb the first few days. From 4/29- 5/26 I lost an additional 6 lbs. From 5/26- 7/31 I lost 4 lbs. Not a big loss but its been gradual and consistent . My BMI is approximately 23-24%. I plan to lose an additional 6-10 lbs before my next Drs appointment in October. Bringing my weight to 137-141, a 2-3lb loss a month is doable and realistic. An additional weightloss will bring my BMI to 21-22. I'm no longer in the overweight or obese category.
My blood sugar was 119 this morning and 90 before dinner tonight. Gradually losing weight and my diet is finally stabilizing my glucose. I'm going to start increasing my activities and hopefully build my stamina back up without causing additional lower back pain. I deal with pain on a daily basis but hopefully the changes to my body will improve my overall health.
The bad thing is most of my weightloss has been in my hips, back and butt. My spine, ribs, & hips can be seen through skin. My tummy is misshapen and gummy. I've lost 2 inches in my chest .I'm hoping my tummy shrinks more without the rest of me getting skeletal.
