Diabetic ABCs
Oct. 2nd, 2009 09:24 amI visited my doctor for the first time in far too long. Some good, some bad but at least he's decent and doesn't beat me up too much when I'm bad. So here are the results for my tracking.
First the Diabetic ABCs:
- A1C: 10.7 (bad, should be 7 or less)
- Blood Pressure: 130/80 (without medication!!!)
- Cholesterol: LDL: 100 (high end of normal) HDL: 32 (bad, should be at least 40)
My weight was 267.8 which is four pounds higher than my last visit. Still down a total of 16 pounds so I'm going to keep that in the win column. The real good news is my blood pressure. It was really high a year ago so I was taking medication for it. I haven't taken any of my medication for months and my pressure was fine. That's one less pill I should be taking. The doctor refilled the medications I should be taking, which are Byetta, Metformin, Lisinopril and an aspirin.
I need to be better about taking my medication. You all have permission to ask if I've taken my medication.
