Thanks for the welcome. I'm so happy I found this website...........I've learned a lot to add to my other research and knowledge gained from my doctor and nutritionist. I spelled the word out because I about went NUTZZZ trying to figure out why so many people we refering to their doctors as a nut! I'm chalking that up to a senior HOUR as senior moments are not long enough these days LOL

Thank you. It's good to know you're doing to well -- not just feeling great, but your numbers are moving right along! Good for you :-)

Yes, just biding my time waiting -- June 28 is a week away, but my doctor's staff feels approval can still come in on time. I'm hopeful, but I'll breathe a HUGE sigh of relief when i hear for sure!

Keep up the good work.........you're making great progress!
