Off insulin

Some good news –

Background – had a splenectomy in Nov to deal with numbers near zero, platelets rose to 600 and then down to settle around 300 ( a few days ago 358). I’ve been on prednisone since around 03 and this past fall on high doses (150 mg/day) to no avail. These high doses caused high enough blood sugar to require insulin injections.

A long taper ended with the last dose in early March. On March 27 I took my last insulin injection- and morning blood sugar since then has been consistently 95-110. Just had my Ac1 tested and it was 6.3% -so good progress!
