So today I had my visit with the endocrinologist.    Everything in my blood work was good, except my Vitamin D levels were a bit low (can handle that with daily D gummies), and my A1C.  It was 7.2  Which isn't bad, especially for me.  But it is a full 1 point higher than June when I last was there (it was 6.2).  

I knew why it had gone up (stress from work and not exercising or eating write because of it) and explained that, and, while no one was happy with the increase, both the doc and later the dietitian,  understood why it happened.  And with the stress at work being lowered, I was convinced I could get it back to where it belonged.   The doc was so understanding and unconcerned she said she didn't have to see me again for 6 months (a few years ago, it was every 3 months).

Anyway, here's the A1C chart.
