Well, the sugar readings are back up some now that Chris has been on the "creamy-foods" phase of the diet. Readings have been anywhere from 130-something to 180-something. So...he started back on his Glucophage pills (4 a day) and his Amaryl (1 pill a day) this morning. I noticed that his lunch reading was still the same as his fasting reading this morning...so I am sure it will take a couple of days for the meds to get "reactivated" in his system. While a little disappointed by this, it is more in line with what we were originally expecting. So...keep your fingers crossed...
The blood pressure is awesome, with no meds. He took a pill the day after he saw the surgeon (on the surgeon's advice) and his blood pressure dropped to 70/50. So...no more blood pressure meds.
This is the opposite of what we were told by some of the people in the support group. They said the sugar would be an immediate resolution but the blood pressure would take time. Guess everyone is different. We will take any/all improvements we can get...
