Good News

The day started off in a way that just made me think that the rest of the day was going to suck too lol But, I got to the dr's appointment early which I assumed would mean I would sit longer rather than be seen sooner (the norm). I was wrong on that note (Glad to be wrong about things like that!) Got my weight and vitals and all that done. No surprises there. Got my print-outs back (they take your insulin pump and hook it up to a computer and print out all your info...very high techy-cool if you ask me...esp if you are like me and HATE to keep log books!).


My big area of trouble is usually my A1C result. They would like your number to be under 7. I think in the 20+ years I've been a Diabetic, that has happened...once? Maybe twice? And it being less than 9.... a handful of times. Soooo when I found out that my result was SIX I was happy of course, but very surprised! *go me, go me*

The A1C is essentially a test that shows what your average blood sugar has been over a 3 month time span. It's just a tool to help show if you are in the right range or not. Obviously, you can have a good number and still be off track. For example...a lot of highs balanced out by a lot of lows. NOT good news. NOT what you want, but I don't seem to have that pattern so I feel my 6 is legit. 


I saw my previous endocrinologist (Yes, Dr. Poopyhead) for 8, count them EIGHT years and never got results she got in about 4 months. Miracles do happen! lol Ok, maybe it's not miraculous, but it sure feels like it.


Took mom to victory lunch. Lunch was decided beforehand. It was either going to be condolence lunch or victory lunch lol But we ran a few errands together. Had a nice afternoon. Came home and prepared for Ellie time! I didn't get to see my niece for long, but she's always a blast to have around. That almost-2-year-old wears Auntie Sam out though! But it made my heart happy when she didn't want to go home. Hey, I take my validation where I can get it lol And at least her joy and love and emotions are sincere.
