Diabetes Clinic

I dread these things, fearing the worst always, or at least a step towards the worst. But the results in this morning were not all that bad. My A1c, the measure of my average blood sugar over the past 3 months or so, was steady at 7.0, same as it was last year. In the past it was as high as 7.4 and as low as 6.6. It could be lower again if I become more diligent about taking my medicine. My cholesterol didn't raise any concern, but my resting blood pressure, the lower number, is too high, but not quite high enough to give me another prescription.

The doctor was ill so I only saw the nurse and dietitian. On the whole it was quite painless this time.
