Diabetes update and pic of slimmer me

[dvandom]

Well, the good news is that according to the nurses at the Diabetes Center, my blood sugar levels are pretty much exactly where they should be. The bad news is, at least in terms of convenience, they say I shouldn't stop taking insulin until I overshoot and have too-low numbers, sigh. Looks like I get to deal with the extra hassle while in Seattle next week.

Here's a pic of me in October 2002, when I was around 250 lbs. And now, me today. Still not QUITE at 225 (I keep weighing in at 225.5), but I seem to have lost the weight in the right places. Oh, and I think I'm even wearing the same pants, which have always been baggy. :)

Update Jan 3: 224.5 lbs, woot!

Only 25? Looks like 50.

Well, in the one part of the 2002 pic I was thrusting my gut out to try to show the slide rule holster on my hip. Although, as mentioned earlier, I've probably gained muscle, so I've lost more than 25 pounds of fat.
