Late morning. You completed your forty
minutes of exercises and feel better for it. You also received the test results
from your endocrinologist, Dr. B and the most important one is the A1C, which
is 6.9. She thought it would be below 7 and it is. Dr. B. no doubt is more
pleased with the result than you are because she put you on the right meds to
make this happen. – Amorella
1139 hours. I am happy to see this number also, but I am
happier that the new meds appear to be working even though I was not always
taking the proper dose of specialized insulin. The directions were not clear. I
followed them to the letter but with each pen it said to take a .6 injection
for 7 days. I was only supposed to do this with the first pen. I just picked up
my first refill of six pens from Kroger’s yesterday and the directions show a
1.2 dose every evening. We’ll see how this has worked 23 April when I have the
next testing – anyway, the fewer complications from diabetes the better. I also
lost ten pounds, which is also good. Perhaps the larger dose will help me lose
more. Strange, I feel like I am in better shape overall than I have been in
several years. The shape is quite rotund though. Such is life with a great
gathering of fat cells.
You enjoy the experimentation with Victoza
because you enjoy experimentation in general. - Amorella

1159
hours. All this time I thought I was injecting a specialized insulin. This
shows what I know. I no doubt misread the pen directions. I have no excuse for
this; very embarrassing.
1209 hours. While reviewing the drug I discovered this
online:

FDA Approves Saxenda
Date of Approval: December 23,
2014
Saxenda
contains liraglutide, the same active ingredient contained in the type 2
diabetes medicine Victoza.
The U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) has approved Saxenda (liraglutide 3 mg), the first
once-daily human glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogue for the treatment of
obesity.

Consider yourself fortunate, boy. Post. - Amorella
Evening.
You watched Sunday’s first “CSI” and Episode 4 of “House of Cards” as well as NBC and ABC News. Then you
completed Grandma 7 with more organization and are working on Chapter Eight. –

2224 hours. Finally, I feel like I have these Grandma
segments straightened out and am ready to move on. Overall, it has been a
productive day research and writing wise.
