I visited the doctor last week. The shortest version of this post is this:
I'm healing
Obviously that doesn't cover everything, so let me dig a little deeper. This started with my 6 month lab work. My main focus was on my diabetes. My A1C last time was 6.7. My goal is to get that as low as possible, but that isn't a bad number. If it goes much higher, I'd have to add a different medication... and adding medication is the road to adding insulin.
NO NO NO
Thankfully my A1C was at 6.8. That's a good number and according to the doc, one worth holding pat on. There were two alarming numbers in my lab work though. My cholesterol and my microalbumin. I'm sure I don't have to go into what cholesterol is, but let me say that it's broken up into four numbers. Total Choletserol, Triglycerides, LDL, and HDL. You want Total Cholesterol, Triglycerides, and LDL to be as low as possible while you want your HDL to be high. Now I've been taking fish oil capsules twice a day for about a year now as that raises HDL, but it doesn't do a damned thing for the other three numbers. My last lab results showed that I was 'borderline high' on all of three bad numbers while my HDL was in the 'good' range.
