I was diagnosed exactily a year ago with diabetes, for the last year I have lost weight, excercised 5-6 days a week, ate NO sugar, drank only diet cokes, made sure to get 8-10 glasses of water a day, etc etc. The last week and a half my blood sugar has been bottoming out on my ONE pill a day, I take Amaryl 2mg and it works amazingly well. Called my Dr and she says to take my pill every OTHER day and see what happens but she is confident I am going to be able to get off the pill completely as my my glucose level is lower then a diabetes on my last blood tests

I sound a bit like you. But it will be two years the first of November. I lost over 60 pounds, exercise everyday, (ugh) and watch everything that goes into my mouth. My doctor said I could go off my pills, but I'm almost afraid to. She said the amount I'm taking isn't even worth the bother, but it's a mind thing with me. A failsafe, as it were.

I'd kill for a Milky Way. How 'bout you?

I have always said, if I was "magically" not diabetic I would have an ice cold regular Coca Cola and a piece of choclate cake, not any choclate cake, but the triple decker choclate cake like emeril makes. Hey if you are going to dream, dream BIG.
