So, things are still going really well. No pain, no meds, life is good! I think I will start to take pepcid again though, but it's not bad. I think my islets have woken up a bit more and digesting food has gotten a lot easier. I will admit I rarely take my enzymes and don't have a problem unless it's greasy foods. so thankful on that one! I recently went back to the endocrinologist and all looks great. They aren't sure exactly what will happen with me in the future but we discussed that I only have to take 4 units of insulin a day and that I never have to take corrective. He stated that he thinks my plan was too agressive in the sense that I'm insulin sensitive since my islets weren't acting out of whack before the surgery so recommended that I never take corrective unless I go over 200. I have yet to get anywhere close to that. in fact, going low is a bigger concern for me, so I'm thrilled at that. I probably should be better at taking my sugars, but I'm blessed in the sense that I am never out of the normal range. So it's definitely possible to not be "diabetic" in the sense that I don't meet the normal criteria!
