Diabetes 4 month follow up

At my 4 month follow up appointment today my HbA1C was down to 6.2% from 11.9% at my initial diagnosis.

Fasting blood glucose levels have been staying in the 100-110 range, although I haven’t been very good at sticking to my reduced carb diet lately, so it crept up into the 120s for a couple of weeks.

Back to the gym next week and back to cutting down the carbs. Maybe I’ll be able to get things below 6% and 100 mg/dl for my next doctor’s visit in May.

Blood glucose levels – 3 weeks

Had a follow-up appointment with the doctor today. He was pleased with the progress I’m making with my blood glucose levels. Morning blood glucose levels have been in the 100s for the last couple of days. I think my body is getting used to the lower levels now because I don’t feel all weak and low-blood-sugar-y like I used to when it went down that low.

I’ve definitely noticed an improvement in the way I feel. The eyes seem to be working a little better now too.
