Following a Lead

Today my A1C was 6.7. When my son and his wife were home for Thanksgiving, they both looked great. My daughter -in-law gave up sugar about 3 months ago and my son followed her lead. They both said they are feeling great and will continue. About the same time, a friend of mine reported her A1C was down to 5.5. I talked to her and gathered a few tips. Mostly things I knew about but am not doing currently and a few new ideas. I am determined to follow the lead of these three people and improve my health. Then I won't feel old and tired anymore.
