My Wellness Surprise
A surprise from lab work
I went to my annual wellness back in May of this year and got a call about my lab work. My glucose was 210! The Dr called and said she was going to test my A1C and come to find out it was a 9.0! I was placed on Metformin 500 twice a day. I drank Coca Cola all day long so I knew my sugar would be high but didn’t think it was that high!
Making changes
I quit cola cold turkey and after diabetic teaching I cut my carbs back to 30 grams per meal and 15 grams per snack. So far I have lost 35lbs in 5 months. I’m determined to keep going and hopefully get off meds. I started an Instagram blog showing what I’ve eaten throughout the day which has really held me accountable.
