I saw my internist today. My bloodwork from last Friday came back: my hgba1c is 6.7 which is the highest it has ever been, 6.5 or more is a dx of Type 2 diabetes. My cholesterol has also gone up despite being on cholesterol meds for nine months. This is not good. I'm to start my metforming at 250mg twice a day, and increase to 500mg twice a day and see him in three months, so in January. He said to lose weight, to lose 10lbs and live at that weight and keep it off. He didn't say lose 80lbs right now, he said to lose ten. I can do that. I am 39 and just diagnosed with sleep apnea and type two diabetes, how did I let it get this bad?
I spoke with my sister and we agree to do at least one mile on the treadmill per day, I did my mile at 11pm tonight, but I did it!
Delia will start making WW pt free soup 2-3x a week tomorrow, and I am now on a diabetic diet, not carb counting for now.
today's wt: 233lbs, bp 121/70
goals:
1-one mile per day
2-eat sugar free when possible
3-start metformin half tab with breakfast and supper
4-work on this every day
5-seek and accept support from friends and family
