I had my
appointment with my NP today. I feel like I'm floundering and backsliding. A1C
went up to 6.3 (134mg/dl). She tried to make me feel better by saying I'm a
Type 1 Diabetic and shouldn't be too hard on myself when my numbers don't
behave, but I have to be my pancreas and right now I'm failing. She said
anything under 7 is great, but I know better. I feel awful. I know I've come a
long way but I feel like all that work is lost.
She pointed
out my low sodium (I haven't been drinking as much water this past
week...oops!) and my high cholesterol and TSH (the only thing she cares to
check, of course). I know she wants to put me back on statins but I'm still
playing the baby card so she held off. Bwahaha. She also suggested adding some
carbs/grains to help lower cholesterol. Nope!
My
holistic doctor is testing and treating my thyroid so I'm not worried about
TSH, especially since I'm taking so many supplements right now. Just feeling
really discouraged.
