I was worried what my blood tests were going to show. I have diabetes and high cholesterol. Two things that are very sensitive to diet and exercise. Well given some issues in my real life, the diet part is a total disaster.
So I was surprised when I got the first part of the labs back. My triglyc reading was well in normal at 144, two years ago it was over 800. Everything else on the lipid panel was really perfect. The best they have been since 2008
But I was worried about the glucose. My morning reading were bouncing and I knew it was all diet. But my spot glucose was the best since 2009. The A1C was still high at 6.2 but still dropping from last year ago and well below the high of 7.0 (6.0 is high normal range). So some work yet to do there.
I know no one but a small circle of friends give a damn about this. lol But I am proud of myself. Lost 30 pounds, about 10 to go but I need to work on muscle mass over that little bit. Thanks for reading this.
