I am trying to get my walking in around the rain...the rain has switched directions the last two weeks and comes from the east, which means it rains after dinner instead of at 3 pm when it comes from the west...I walked 2 miles tonight, third day this week. yeah for me! I got my latest blood test result back- 5.4 Ha1c, down from 5.7 in Feb. Triglycerides seem to likestaying in the 160 range, but I guess that is better than the 366 I had five years ago! My HDL is 38 again, but the Niacin makes me sick, so I am holding out for the new drug next year. Hate to add another prescription though! I am sticking with the Avandamet 2/1000 x 2times per day...told my PA today that I love what the meds. do for my blood sugar, but HATE the side effects. Had some disappointing news from the eye doctor last month, and I don't know why, but I am having trouble shaking it...he said there are narrowing of the vessels in my eyes since last he saw me last summer, and now I need to go back every 6 months. My blood sugar was only out of whack for a couple of months last fall, but I guess that was long enough to cause a change. How do the rest of you deal with the changes? Part of me says, oh well nothing I can do about it, and part of me says to get on the ball and do something about it...I wish the second part was the ruler! MH

Way to go on the A1c, Yay!! As for the changes I do like the ones that are good, but the bad ones really make me stop to think about what things I can do to see an improvement if I can figure out what I have been doing to cause a bad change. I also tend to analyze myself to see what else I can do to keep myself in great control, because as you know trying to keep the same routine does not always work out especially when we have no control over certain elements.
In my opinion if the veins in your eyes are narrowing and
be very proud of yourself for the results
of your A1C tests. Excellent!!!!!
Hey weather is always unpredictable, you
hope for the best and expect the worst.
Good job on your success! It's a wild world!
Good Job on all your hard work!!!
Keep up your good numbers, exercising and good eating.
