I did my fasting and went into the doctor's office with my head held high and taking responsibility for my failures to keep up with what I need to do. Oddly enough, my cholesterol numbers, good and bad, were fabulous. My doctor was thrilled over that. However, I went up a point on my A1C and my triglycerides were elevated. Not good, but honestly, I knew that was going to happen.
Thankful that I only went up a small amount, but I need to reverse that. Furthermore, doctor confirmed my suspicions - the stress is really causing my blood sugar to spike badly. I told her of the total exhaustion I get the week before and of that time of the month. At that point, she decided it was time to bring in a specialist. My issues are hormonal and a specialist may be able to do more for me than she can.
My doctor referred me to an endocronologist to start working with me. I have my first appointment on 12/3. My doctor believes that the specialist can get me onto medications that will help me manage my blood sugar better as well as help me lose weight. I remain positive that I can get something done. I have done it before and I need to do it again and make sure that the weight stays off.
In other news, I managed to get some of my father's Christmas presents purchased. That is a relief for me. I also indulged in my guilty pleasure - shopping at Beauty Brands and Sephora. I can never leave either place without getting something.
Time to go back to relaxing and cleaning. Somehow, those two should not go together. LOL
