As part of my goal to live a healthier life, I made an appointment for a checkup with a doctor. I haven't been to any doctor in several years. I didn't tell him how long or that I haven't had women's tests done in maybe tenish years. He wanted lab work completed before the visit and I knew it wouldn't be good. I've suspected for a time that I am a diabetic but hey if you don't know, it isn't real, right!!!
Well one of the tattle-tail tests, something called an A1C or something like that said I was a 13. I guess 13 isn't like being a 10 on the beauty scale. On this test, you want to be below 7. This test can somehow tell how you have been for the past THREE months. I think that is very unfair. I have eaten so well this month. He shouldn't be able to look further in the past. What happened to the days you could be really good the week before the doctor's visit, pass everything with flying colors, and then go back to your pre-checkup diet and behavior???
So now I am on medicine. Metform. Twice a day. I don't like pills. I tend to ignore them but I will take the darn things. But I think they are messing up my system. My body doesn't like them and it is letting me know. I hope if I continue eating well the doctor will be so impressed that he will apologize for forcing me on the pills, admit he was wrong, and tell me they are not necessary. I can dream!
I make teensy goals for each month. For Feb I will continue my goal of one pound a month. In Feb I am going to concentrate on doing some type of exercise every day for at least 5 minutes. I know that doesn't sound like much but I consider it a way to get into the habit, to carve out time, to explore what activities I might enjoy or at worse be willing to suffer through.
