But everything is perfect, other than my actual blood sugars, which are already doing better on my new medication.

Unfortunately the new meds did make me put on yet more weight, and nothing is helping get any of it off. Since I've been trying and failing to lose weight on my own for many many years I have finally been referred for a lap band, so we'll just have to see how that goes.

Still it's great to hear you're doing well for the most part.
