Oh, that's great! That's me too, I hated going to the doctor before. I had a different doctor before this one, she had just lost about 30 pounds herself and you'd think she'd understand but she was mostly .... not nice to me. She made me feel worse, and angry, and treated me like I was stupid. I've been dieting my whole life, I know a lot about what to do and what not to do, I just had so much trouble actually DOING any of it, but she always made me feel... inferior. Fortunately she left the practice - I hadn't worked up the nerve to do anything about it - and I switched to a new doc at the same practice. I love her! She still gave me what-for about being fat and about my high numbers, but she never made me feel bad, just encouraged me to do what I knew I needed to do!
Congratulations on doing so well and reducing your meds! Even though we're still overweight on the outside, it's so good to know that we are healthier on the inside.
