Here's something that will bore you...

I went in for my annual check-up with my primary care
physician today.

I didn't use to like her very much and kept threatening
to find a new doctor but today she got added to my
Christmas card list. She had nothing but good news for me.

My blood work was damn near perfect. A1c was 6.2.
Glucose was 99. aaaannnnd I've lost 24 lbs.
Because my blood work and glucose control has been
very good for several years, she said she could lower
my diabetes Metformin dosage. I'm thrilled! Metformin is
the only diabetes medication I take.

I'll have to monitor my glucose level a little more closely
for the next six months to make sure it stays steady and
my A1c doesn't go up. I can do that.

I've already made appointments to go to the dentist and visit
the eye doctor. My colonoscopy turned out peachy. The only
thing left to schedule is a mammogram and I'll do that tomorrow.

My full-body tune-up is going swimmingly. (knock on wood).

I thought I commented yesterday. I guess not.

This is great news.

I wish I had the discipline to get my sugar that low. With a little effort and willpower I could at least get below 7. (Currently 7.2).

I hate poking myself every night
