And sadly I am not talking about food, as in full of it 
Just got my Hba1c, cholesterol and BP scores back from the Doc, I'm just a little puzzled, ok a lot
My Hba1c is down but only to 7.4 a total drop of .3 despite use of metformin as prescribed, my cholesterol is down to 3.1, my BP is down to 130/72 and that's after being taken off of the BP tablets because they are causing me to cough dreadfully. I feel as all the hard work I've put in with the diet and exercise and cutting out all the rubbish I had fallen back into the bad habit of eating is a futile effort.
I had hoped for a Hba1c score in the mid to late 6'es but it's not happening despite the serious effort.
I'm a little pi.... oops, I mean ticked off to put it politely. Short of being mega strict and almost having no pleasures in life at all I can't think what else I can do.
Ok, moan over, back to the grind stone. 😛
I'm sure you all know how it feels when you are trying and not getting anywhere.
I've just had a thought that hadn't passed my mind before, I have had a chest infection and a cold in the last six weeks so maybe my Hba1c numbers have been artificially inflated by that. Possible hmmm...?
