My Doctor Visit

Tweet

I had my 3 month check up with the endocrinologist today. I think it went alright. He seemed pretty pleased I guess you could say. They checked an A1c (blood sugar 3 month average) by a finger poke. Never done it that way before. My A1c went down to 6.9 (was 12.1 back in January). So that is a major drop down. Had I been good the whole time, I would probably be back down in the 5 range. The doctor is going to change my meds up a bit. He wants me to try Ozempic (once a week shot) and get rid of one of the pills I take. If that doesn't help (my A1c lower from the carb days) then he will try me on fast acting insulin when I have a carb meal. Otherwise, he was pretty impressed. I was up 4 pounds from my last visit, but down 6 since February. I told him of my goal of getting down to 100 pounds and he said to make small goals....so for the next appointment I should work towards getting down to 170 (that's about 1 pound per week since I go back in 3 months). We'll see how I do over the next 3 months...
