Good news!

It's good news!! Allorahs glucose and A1C are better so they aren't going to start her on insulin as they initially thought. Dr. Kaufman thinks we can control it with diet alone. I had already initiated a strict sugar free and low carb diet as soon as we found out and that was enough to bring her numbers down. I am so excited and thrilled. Allorah has to check her glucose 3 to 4 times a day and keep a close log and then we will go to Dallas to see Dr. Garg and see if she is a candidate for the Leptin treatment. Dr. Pachman also said we can try and lower her Presnisone from 10 mg. To 9 mg. This will help with the diabetes. So our next step is Dallas. This diet will be difficult for Lola since her diet is so restricted already with it being gluten free so now it's that and low fat, low carb and no sugar! If you have any recipe ideas please send my way! Thank you all for your prayers.
