I was all ready to embed some Thompson Twins but remembered I’d already done that — and I surely don’t want to become predictable and repetitive 😉
Anyway, this week I met my new doctor. She’s a lady doctor – though I don’t really have a preference one way or another actually.
She kind of looks like this…
It was a long appointment since it was the first one. And so she’s referring me to an endocrinologist – truthfully I should have been seeing one all along – and there’s at least a couple months wait to get in. Meanwhile we’ll be working on getting things where they should be, blood-sugar-wise (great time of year for that! What with the baking and candy making about to happen!!). I *am* headed in the right direction though. My A1C has gone down another 2 points so I’m almost back where I should be. – Yes, it was pretty awful earlier this year…
Ouch!
I am feeling a new …I don’t know…dedication I guess, to getting and keeping this back under control. It will certainly help when I’m able to run and work out again!!
For the record though, I HATE the finger pricking and am so happy that most meters these days provide for alternate site testing. And I take full advantage of that!! Since I work on a computer all day I couldn’t stand to do finger pricks every day because…they hurt and the pain lasts !!!
