Good news and bad news
Good news: Had my A1C checked today — now at 5.6 and I wasn’t fasting! I’ve lost 10 pounds (22 kilos) so far in the last six weeks. But caveat: had to include extended-release metformin to my Rx list.
Bad news: My cholesterol is up along with some other issues, and now I have to take a statin.
Despite adding more Rx, I feel pretty good and glad to have shed some weight.
I’ve been mostly eating an anti-inflammatory diet, and that helps.
