Today's happiness: I'm not diabetic.

I had bloodwork this morning and my A1c is 6.0. Yes, it's higher than normal (5.7) but it's not in the diabetic range (6.5% and above). It's also lower than it was last year (6.1) and 2020 (6.2). I guess drinking more water and doing yoga really is making a difference to my health.*
I am not only happy with these results, I'm grateful. To have a test in the morning and then see the results within hours is a wonderful thing. To have the results show I'm moving in the right direction is super terrific.
Happy August Happiness Challenge!
Each
day in August you are to post about something that makes *you* happy.
Pretty simple. And, it doesn't even have to be every day if you don't
want it to be. It's a great way to remind ourselves that there are
positive things going on in our lives, our communities, and the world.
*Now my cholesterol has gone up, though. I expect to be getting a message from my doctor within a couple days. (I'm aware we're going into a holiday weekend and I'm not an emergency.)
Good for you! Yes, even small efforts can make a BIG difference!
ReplyDeleteI'm on a prescription medication that has elevated sugar levels as a side effect plus being a person of size I'm always concerned that I will be pre-diabetic or diabetic, but so far (knock wood) I'm not. All this to say I genuinely relate to this and I'm happy for you!
ReplyDeleteI worry about this all the time since both of my grandmothers, my brother, and my nephew are diabetic. So far so good. My cholesterol is another story. Good for you for being proactive!
ReplyDeleteMine is 6.0 also. I have to watch what I eat. I need to move more. I get my results the same day too. Now I have to go online to do a pre visit check in. Have a great holiday weekend!
