Great Results

I'm sharing my healthy snack with you today, a handful of blackberries, seedless grapes and there were 3 pieces of light marble cheddar cheese on the plate! It's completed with a glass of 1% milk.



Husband M had a successful checkup with his doctor last week. His A1C reading was 7.2, down from 9.2 just two and a half months ago. These are his blood sugar test results. The doctor would like to see that number under 7 but was surprised at how well he was doing in such a short time. She was all prepared to raise his medication which is what she does for so many people. She took notes on what he was doing as she wanted to inform her other patients. He told her that for him, the 2 diabetic clinics she had sent him to were invaluable as he learned a lot there. He had switched from granola type cereals to one we found called Fibre 1 by General Mills. In his favour, his blood pressure and cholesterol are normal. M's next checkup is in 3 months, so hopefully things will still be on track!

In other complications, M remembered his needed an ice breaker tool and promptly went out and bought one. Remember that we are giving him one for Christmas as a surprise! I had to tell him, so he will return the one he bought and the surprise will be in what kind it was and what this one looks like.  I can nag him for weeks about other things on his todo list, they never get done, go figure!
