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…

As mentioned previously I went for a blood test on Monday and the last time I had one 3 months ago it took 3 days to come back so either one of two things – it is taking longer because they’re busy or the answer I’d much rather prefer which is ‘no news is good…

Well, I went to the Awanui Labs blood testing for my A1C test however I also found that there was an urine test (I saw it on the document my doctor gave me, thought it may have been a mistake) so I guess the reason was to also check my kidney function as well. Normally…

Busy week and almost Monday, the big day for my A1C blood test, hopefully I’ll get an answer back quickly to see whether all the hard work has paid off. On Thursday I went for a 14.5km walk then on Friday a 8km walk then on Saturday another 8km walk. The walk on Friday was…

Just a bit of context before I start, I sold off my Pixel 9 Pro XL 256GB (which was painful but necessary thing to do) along with a few other pieces to pay off in full my iPhone 15 Pro Max 256GB I had on one of those interest free purchase plans through One NZ.…

Working from home things were pretty good – feedback from work being positive so I’m happy with how things are progressing. We had our bonuses handed out last pay so I put that towards wiping out my overdraft that I’ve had since I was at university and if things keep going the way they are…

I went down to the supermarket today to do some grocery shopping which will cover me for the next fortnight. I bought a some lamb rumps that I cooked up and created a tasty lamb sandwich for dinner, I also bought some chicken and fish from the frozen section – I like to keep some…
