Blood work

My blood work is improving

I focus on my A1C levels every blood work results I get. I have been going to the doctor every three months for blood work for years. Since I became diabetic in 2021. When I became diabetic I freaked out. My diabetes was found out when my A1C was 7. After that doctors visit, I  busted my ass on the treadmill each morning for 30mins. Also I roughly followed the Keto Diet. Lean, un  processed meats, vegetables, fruits. Lots of water. I gave up colas and alcohol. Through my hard work I got my A1C from 7 to 5.9 in three months! Then after that victory, I kinda got sloppy and less scared of living with diabetes. I ate anything and did not exercise. My A1C went up to 7.5. That concerned me.

Medication increase

My doctor increased my Metformin from 500mg in the morning and 500mg in the afternoon to 1000mg in the morning and 1000mg in the afternoon. He also added a weekly injection of Trulicity. The Trulicity was first at 5mg. The doctor later increased the Trulicity to 1.5mg. With the 1000mg of Metformin twice a  day and the 1.5mg of Trulicity each week, I find my A1C to be 6.9 with no exercise. Last visit my doctor increased my Trulicity to 3mg. I expect in three months at my next blood work to have my A1C lower than 6.9.

Vegetables

I made a decision to eat more vegetables starting now. So, I will try out my new diet and hopefully with the increase in Trulicity my A1C will be lower than 6.9 at the next blood work. I do enjoy cooking meals and will search the Internet for new vegetable receipts.

My daily life, mentally

I still have “certain people” on my mind. I was stupid for not being receptive to them reaching out to me. But I was a little concerned. It was just a little awkward feeling, that is all. Also I was not confident enough to accept them reaching out. I am just a simply guy. Hopefully certain people still think of me maybe every so often. I am sure I am old news now. I will remain approachable at store or the library and places I go around my town. Maybe one of them will try and reach out again? I am normally pretty friendly just a bit shy in face to face meetings. I may go back to Ingalls for group therapy again. Maybe they will approach me there again? We shall see.
