So today I had my three month visit with the new doctor (after having given the blood last Wednesday). First things first, it was my annual check, and I continue to be HIV negative! So, yay for that, right?
Then we got down to the nitty-gritty. I had lost 9 pounds in three months, which is kinda what I knew already because that's how much I had lost during the Cocky&Rude. But then she told me the biggest news: My A1C number, which in March was 8.8 (and back in December was 9.3), right now, is 7.1! That's a 1.7 drop in three months! Which is amazing, she said. Ultimately, we want it somewhere in there 6.something range, and if I can get it there, she said she'd change my status to "Controlled Diabetic" instead of the "Uncontrolled" that I am now. This is INCREDIBLE news!
In addition, my cholesterol, that should be under 200, is at 100. My triglycerides, which should be under 150, is at 102. My good cholesterol is a little low, but that's no big deal. Everything, other than the good cholesterol, was great! She told me to keep up what I was doing, and hopefully, but the beginning of the fall, I'll no longer be an Uncontrolled Diabetic!
