Health Update.

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.
