18th May 2007
Med-wise, I'm on 500 mg of Metformin once a day (right before bed), with 750 of Tricor in the morning for my triglycerides (Which are down to 195 from 2200, so yay). My a1c was 7.7 last time I had it checked, but I'd only been diagnosed a month earlier, so I'm hoping most of that was from it being out-of-control before I was diagnosed.
I know there are a lot of things I can't control, which is why I get kind of compulsive about the things I can.
Something else I've noticed, which may be related, is that it seems like I have an easier time losing weight when my blood sugar is out of control. I'm not sure how they're related: if the trouble with my blood sugar was making it easier to lose weight, or if losing weight rapidly was doing funny things to my blood sugar, or if my body has just found a good place to balance and that's caused both.
It makes me sort of wonder whether it would be worth it in the long run to have more of these exercise-associated highs in the short-term, in order to bring my weight down to a healthier level.
