Progress!

Some of you might remember that over the last 8 months or so, I’ve had several medical issues to deal with, the last of which was the diabetes diagnosis. Well, I just had my first follow up on it, and things are looking up. 🙂 My A1c test (a 3 month average of my blood glucose numbers) was down from 8.8 to 7.3. Doctor was very happy. We are shooting for 6.5. My daily numbers are falling mostly in the desired range now, so next time it should be even better. Best of all……I’ve lost 70lbs! 😀 My cardiologist is happy too. My last EKG was good and, combined with the weight loss, he feels much better about my heart staying in normal rhythm. It feels really good to finally have things going in the right direction! 😀
