Life at 50: Wellness monitoring blood sugar without finger sticks.

In September 2023, during a normal check-up, my blood results revealed a startlingly high HbA1c of 10.6. This was a wake-up call for me, indicating that I needed to take immediate action to effectively control my diabetes.
My primary care physician suggested Jardiance and Januvia, two oral drugs designed to help regulate my blood sugar levels. Recognizing the importance of diet in diabetes control, I began working with a nutritionist, who assisted me in changing my eating habits.
One of the most significant changes I made was to eliminate soda from my diet, which was not easy, but the results have been worthwhile. Along with medicine and diet, I needed to monitor my blood sugar on a daily basis. Traditional glucose meters, however, required regular finger sticks, which are painful.
To make things easier, I switched to the Freestyle Libre 2, a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) that tracks glucose levels around the clock without requiring finger sticks. It also warns me if my glucose levels fall below 70 or rise above 250, allowing me to monitor my status without having to prick myself constantly.
By February 2024, my efforts had paid off: my HbA1c had reduced to 7.3 percent! This improvement clearly demonstrates that combining medication, dietary modifications, and CGM is a successful diabetes management strategy
Sharing my personal experience is not only about my successes, but also about encouraging those who are suffering similar obstacles. Diabetes control can be challenging, but with the correct tools and lifestyle modifications, it is possible to live a healthier life. Stay hopeful and persistent, and most importantly, look for the tools and assistance that are most effective for you!
