Good report...

My appointment with my Dr. was yesterday; I had been concerned that my A1c might be higher than before.  His nurse called me this morning to say that my A1c was 5.96!  I am happy about that.  Stress has been plaguing me for several months, because DH has had a couple of small strokes.  The Internist and the Neurologist put him on Statins which didn't sit very well with his system.  The medications made him very weak (as they did for me,,,we had exactly the same bad affects) bones, muscle aches.  The Neurologist said for us to keep his brain active, and his body too.  We've been walking as much as possible, and I'm trying to teach him to use the computer.  I've been lurking as much as I can, but there isn't much time.


I noticed the Cinnamon discussion; it still seems to help me.  As a matter of fact, I'm still using the information that I've posted before.  Maybe it's the combination of the things, but I really thought that my A1c would have been higher. 


I hope that all here are getting the help they need, and that all will be blessed with better health.

The cutting board is a good idea; I don't know why I haven't thought about the one downstairs that I haven't used in a long time.


We have Sudoku puzzles in the newspaper, and he does work them on occasion; I'm the one with no patience for them! ;-)

That's great news Twosweet. It is so good to see great numbers. Wonderful on how you and DH are walking and getting out together. It is so enjoyable. I know. We have a inner park in the city here and part of it is woodsy. It is so nice. DH is laid off and we are there almost every night and walk usually two miles. It is a great thing to do and I feel so much better afterwards. Good luck. It is good to keep the brain active. Sorry for all the stress you have been under lately. Take care of yourselves.
