On my 30 minute break from work I contacted the medical centre where my doctor operates from and organised the HbA1c blood test and urine test to check for kidney functions. The nurse at the medical centre contacted me back and informed me that my HbA1c has gone from 89 down to 41 which is a huge drop – well below the goal of getting below 50 and the icing on the cake was the urine test came back which confirmed my kidneys were functioning. The HbA1c gives me some room (link) to work on getting my weight down further to the point that if I can get it down below 40 to somewhere around 30 then that’ll put me in the ‘normal range’. This has really given me a positive lift for the day and looking forward to getting to my goal by the end of the year.
