Well, Mardi Gras was yesterday and it was tough. On Monday, I had an appointment with Dr Natalie, my PCP. She is terrific and I got information about their new patient portal at my visit. I have not tried it yet, but she gave me a printout summarizing my test results and everything we discussed. I was expecting good news, since I upped my exercise, was being more careful about diet and have lost 6.2 pounds in the Weight Watchers at Work program over the past six weeks or so. Not bad, I thought. Well that HbA1C that was 7.2 when I was first diagnosed, then 7.5 three months later, is now 7.9. Bummer. Metformin now upped.
So, since my eating habit changes seem not to have had much effect, I fell off the wagon on Tuesday. Had a hot-cross bun; girl scout cookies, and some chocolate from those ubiquitous candy dishes at work.
Now it's Lent. My resolutions are: NO CANDY, and to write 40 notes to people who have meant something to me.
