I have a question about diabetes1

My question is, if I continue to do everything right, my blood sugar and A1C should stay good right? I mean they won't go high again unless I start eating things I shouldn't and putting weight back on right? Has anyone here been weened off all medication and are doing good on their own?

Theresa, you have done an amazing job! Congratulations! Will your blood sugar stay where it is? Nobody knows. Diabetes is considered a progressive disease and that's why people work so hard to control it -- to control it now and to slow down the progression. Many things can temporarily affect your blood sugar -- illness, medications, stress, and so on, so don't let a rise upset you. If it fails to come back down, then perhaps a call to the doctor is in order. Bill's blood sugar consistently stays between 90 and 120 -- great numbers. However, sometimes, it's up -- as high as 160, and seemingly for no reason. Of course, there is a reason, it's just not something he can pinpoint. Right now he's battling poison ivy (or something similar). He's on steroids, antibiotics, and benadryl. His numbers aren't soaring, but they are higher than normal. He's also grouchy! I've read about people using meds to stabalize and then using just diet and exercise to control their diabetes. I can see how diet and exercise can control the numbers, but I don't see how it can help resistance issues, but I'm sure there's a great deal I just don't understand. If someone knows, I'd like to hear more. My guess is that without the meds, you will have to work even harder to keep good numbers, but that's a personal choice, and not something I would discourage, just something to keep in mind. And I think age probably matters too. Bill's 59 and was diagnosed last year. At this stage of the game, I don't think he has any interest in trying to battle the disease without drugs. He is ever mindful of the food he eats and tries to exercise most days. Without the meds, he'd be working so much harder, and well... quality of life matters too.
