Dr.: Your weight and blood glucose significantly decreased. What did you do for your life style change?

 
 
SH:
Decrease juice from 2 cups to 1 cup and drink more water daily.
Decrease 5% of total intake for school lunches;
Decrease 50% of total intake for dinners;
More active and play around.
 
   
Dr.: Your glucose dropped directly related to weight control. I felt very comfortable to hold insulin now. Maintain weight and healthy life style for your life is harder than get weight drop for several pounds in a short period. But I believe you can do it.  
   
SH: Yes, I can.
