I had my routine bloodwork done just before Christmas for my diabetes, blood pressure and blood thinners scan.

Happy to report that my HBA1C came back scoring 38 , the same as 6 months ago but I’ve upped my carb intake so that’s a good result and even below pre diabetic levels.

Blood pressure has reduced significantly over the last 12 months and is now averaging 125/78 . I am still on medication for that though.

My cholesterol is now at 3.5 , it was at 3.8 , and before I was advised to try statins , 5.7, so that’s also in a good place.

As I’m on lifelong medication for a blood clot , I need to be checked at regular intervals , bloodwork appears to be showing no obvious issues.

I’ve just had my yearly diabetic eye screening, I’m just waiting for confirmation on the results , however nothing obvious was showing at the time of my test .

finally , my weight seems to have settled at 10st 8Lb . Happy with that, I was 19 stone around 2 years ago.

All in all , I’m happy with where I am at the moment and in a much better place than I was a few years back. I feel a lot better too. I can’t be to complacent and will always need to stay on top of things but for now I’m pleased with my journey.

Finally managed to get my hands on one of these , well actually two as my daughter has another in her room.

I’ve already upgraded it with an internal SSD and got another controller and charger ready for final fantasy 16 later this year.

I’m currently playing god of war ragnarok and horizon at the moment , however I have playstation + so I can grab a few freebies throughout the year.

I promise I’ll keep the blog updated when I turn it off though 😉

My previous website host ,although great, was a little too expensive for my needs. I’ve now moved to hostinger on a 4 year contract that has been heavily discounted.

all is up and running , however whilst everything propagates over the Internet, there may be a few bugs to iron out but this should all settle within 48 hours.

I had my autumn covid booster and flu jab a few weeks ago.

Only a sore arm and a little tired for 24 hours. Small price to pay for the protection it gives.

Being a registered carer , I was allowed to have mine alongside the over 65 group.

Life is a little hectic at the moment.

Lots going on , so I’m just blogging this post from my phone to see if it’s any easier to keep the blog up to date and get back to daily posting.

So , here’s what’s been going on this last month.

Loki is doing great with his training , it’s looking like he will pass the puppy foundation module within the next 4 weeks but practice is the key and that’s taking up my time at the moment. It will be worth the effort though.

I’ve had my blood test and happy to report the statins have helped to reduce my cholesterol from 5.7 down to 3.8 . I’ve a few more checks to be done regarding my blood thinners and a check on my diabetes reading but all seems OK for now.

My car had a air conditioning regass recently, that really helped to keep the car at a safe cool level for the doggo . It also recently had a oil and filter change and its going in next week for a fuel filter change DPF clean and engine carbon clean. I got a really great deal from spear cars based in Stafford. Really great service and very trustworthy guy.

That’s all for now but hoping I’ll be able to keep on top of the updates over the next few weeks and thanks for staying with Me.
