Great news concerning my Diabetes

About two months ago my doctor said I no longer need to take Insulin. My A1C level is 5.5. The doctor said that is fantastic.

I have never used any formal diet. I don't exercise. I did cut out my sweet snacks. I allow myself some Lay's potato chips, but need to ration them out. The Glucose level will go up if I eat too much, too fast.

This morning I had some low glucose alarms on my FreeStyle Libre sensor. Oddly enough that may have been caused when I ate a bunch of black licorice over the past couple days. My Glucose level went up to over 200.

I gave away the rest of the licorice. But maybe the excess glucose from earlier eating sessions provoked a reaction that ended up dropping the glucose too low?

I'm happy.
