pjbear05 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 (edited) Just a couple of good days. Started yesterday with a face-to-face follow-up with my primary physician, first in nearly a yearly. He expressed in condolences on hearing about Karen, looks me over, runs the stethoscope over my chest and back. Says my A1C is at 7.0, and total cholesterol at 150-"you're in great shape, stay strong, see ya in 4 months." Booyah! Today, went to my friend's ice cream shop to deliver a couple of framed pictures willed to him and received my first real hug. We chatted for a few minutes whi!e he took care of some cutomers, then bought a chocolate malt, and took off to finish shopping and head home. Just a couple of good days.

I took him out to chip and putt today and he did great...most importantly we had a lot of fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zepphead Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 10 weeks ago i ordered a couple of electrical components from Amazon at a dirt cheap price (not noticing initially that they were shipping from China.) They arrived today!!! It may have been a 'Slow Boat From China' but it got here in the end!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pj, are you a Type 2 Diabetic? What does your doctor think about your A1C being at 7.0?Type 2, 500 mg Metformin 2X daily. Doctor wasn't overconcerned, given the rest of my lab values were so good for me. I think last test 8 months ago A1C was 5.7, so it did seem odd that we shrugged it off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are one of the few people I have met who can tolerate Metformin. My husband is a type 2 and takes nothing anymore. His blood sugar, which I test twice a day, rarely goes above 140. Tonight it was 119. The doctor thought taking any pills would do him more harm than good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first thing in the morning count is usually below 120, unless I've been particularly bad. Latest spike was last week, two hours after dinner and evening dosing, which was 165.

Ya_Big_Tree Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 After the freak hailstorm we had last night I went to check on my vegetable plants this morning and I noticed my tomatoes are growing and my strawberries are starting to appear! Made me really proud that I was able to grow my own food. I also have Kale just about ready for first harvest too! :D 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 The rabbit sitting right outside the window of our library/computer room eating grass and the absolutely gorgeous view of the prairie and the mountains. Oh, and the donkey next door is making his donkey noises. He sounds annoyed. Probably supper is late. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To remove your impunities and reach virgin status again you'd have to sweat down to a paper thin layer of dry skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
