in which i find out my new a1c level....

6.0 Baby!  WOOT!

The plusses to my visit?  6.0 a1c (obviously), my doctor told me I can now test 3 times a week instead of twice a day (or when I feel I need to – which is awesome on the budget!), and she is very happy my blood sugar is officially under control.

But the downside to the visit – I have to start taking a cholesterol medication (Pravastatin), and she didn’t take me off any of my diabetes meds.  Oh well – I’d rather play it safe than stop taking them and see things spiral out of control again.

Next up – need to look into lower cholesterol foods… Do I see flavorlessness in my future?
