What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

6.5…..I’m over this…
Ok, it’s all ok…
Gym was shoulders, biceps and triceps, a 30 min walk.
Just finished my first phone doctor appointment…I hate this. So I’ll get a refill for my thyroid meds…but just for 3 months, no refills. Ahhhhh…I’ve been on the same meds and dosage for years. He did agree to all the bloodwork I wanted, including fasting insulin and c peptide (although I will have to pay for those) along with other tests (hemoglobin will be checked again).
I just want my own doctor….i hate explaining things over and over.
 
Loosing my patience…7.0 today.
I did have a bit of a revelation though….low hemoglobin does cause higher blood sugar readings. I need to get this fixed to see if that’s the problem. Bloodwork tomorrow. I expect A1C will be high because of all this.
The doc is testing b12 levels, diet is not the problem BUT I did read that metformin and Berberine can cause b12 issues…I do use Berberine. Yikes, has that become an issue? It doesn’t help with my blood sugar but does help my cholesterol numbers, I’d hate to have to stop taking it. Time will tell.
Gym was chest and back.
 
7.1. My brain can’t take this….
Did go for an ultrasound and then my bloodwork today. Hopefully will get some answers…..and not more questions.
No gym today as I was booked.
Nice walk around the ponds, the ducks and geese and making a huge and wonderful racket.
Did some damage on the credit card as I finished paying for our river cruise this fall.
@DEBBIESCOTT ….you made me laugh with your laser counting!
