Seraphim Posted August 16, 2020 Author Share Posted August 16, 2020 It looks like random glucose levels are coming down which is good. Kidney function is improving which is the eGFR.( higher number means better ) and cholesterol is coming down . Still waiting on A1c. 1 Link to comment
Seraphim Posted August 16, 2020 Author Share Posted August 16, 2020 Reference normal ranges for A1c random glucose: 3.6-7.7mmol/l Sodium: 135-145 mmol/l Potassium: 3.5-5.2 mmol/l Creatine:50-100umol/l Link to comment

Seraphim Posted August 17, 2020 Author Share Posted August 17, 2020 Damn!! A1c is 6.1 😓😓😓 Link to comment
boltnrun Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Damn!! A1c is 6.1 😓😓😓 That's just a bit above the goal, right? I bet you can get that right back down again really soon. Link to comment
Seraphim Posted August 17, 2020 Author Share Posted August 17, 2020 That's just a bit above the goal, right? I bet you can get that right back down again really soon. Yes , I am in the pre diabetic range. I have to be below 6. My dr wants me in the 5.5 to 5.8 range. I think my downfall was eating popcorn too often so back to once a week. Link to comment
Seraphim Posted August 18, 2020 Author Share Posted August 18, 2020 I mean I know my diabetes is well controlled essentially. But I am upset my A1c creeped up a bit. A lot anxiety tonight. Link to comment
boltnrun Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 You got this. You did it before, you can do it again. Link to comment

Oh, I can tell you are so disappointed! Your value is very close! This is simply feedback for you to make some adjustments- and it sounds like the popcorn is a possible culprit. So make some adjustments and see how it goes. You can do it! You have really done well through time, overall. Link to comment
Seraphim Posted August 18, 2020 Author Share Posted August 18, 2020 You got this. You did it before, you can do it again. Thanks! I can for sure I am not too far off. Link to comment

He said I have worked super hard and it shows. He said if I keep working at it all the time my diabetes will never get really bad. But I have to be super diligent. Link to comment
Seraphim Posted September 14, 2020 Author Share Posted September 14, 2020 I lost 2 pounds over my March weigh in! No COVID weight gain for me. Link to comment
boltnrun Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 I will gladly take any pounds you don't want! I have lost 23 pounds and no matter what I can't gain any of it back. And good job! You have a good handle on your health. Link to comment

boltnrun Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 I had umpteen tests done at the beginning of the year. All tests came back negative. I even had a brain MRI! I always lose weight when I'm stressed and anxious. I'm hoping the move to my brother's house will have a big impact. Anyway, good job keeping yourself healthy! Link to comment

I hope when you get to your brother’s place that you start feeling better! ❤️ I wish I could get out and walk but since I put my back out last week I can barely drag one leg. I think I put out the muscles in that hip and in my lower back. The only way I’m not in unbelievable pain is lying down. I can’t stand and I can’t sit. Which is lots of fun working 630 to 5. 😖😖 I have been doing exercises which stretch out the abductor and flexor muscles in the hip and in the lower back. That seems to help for a little bit but then of course is back to pain but I have to keep up with the exercises or they won’t help. Link to comment
SherrySher Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 I'm in the same boat, small but have a hard time keeping weight on. I've had people envy me over that and honestly, they don't know the struggle. It's not always a great thing. I can literally look sick due to being thin. I lose weight at the drop of a hat. In fact, I'm not sure which is worse, someone who doesn't like being overweight, or someone who can't keep weight on and looks sick. Link to comment

Sounds so rough. :( I hope you get better soon. Hey, by the way, did Pippy get a hold of you? I was on the phone with her last week and she was going to contact you. Link to comment

In fact, I'm not sure which is worse, someone who doesn't like being overweight, or someone who can't keep weight on and looks sick. This is abnormal for me though. My normal weight is 23 pounds heavier than I am now. It's due to the anxiety. Seraphim, do you see a chiropractor? Link to comment
