Dr appointment
 

Well I got my labs back from the Dr. and while I thought they were awesome she pointed out to me that my A1C of 5.7 along with the fact that I was a gestational diabetic with my first child (increasing my chance of becoming a diabetic by 49%) and the fact that long spaces in between meals or in the morning sometimes makes me shaky shows Hypoglycemia and a precursor to possible diabetes later in life. Well yuck I am a nurse and I know what that means and I will be damned if I can change it and don't. So now feeling kinda scared and very awake to what is going on with my body I have a new motivation and purpose in this journey. I am also iron deficient anemic slightly but so was my mom so I expected that... everything else looked great including my lipids!!!! I can do this, for myself, my wife, our future, our children and grandbabies.... I have to look temptation in the eye and not give in.... my life depends on it.
