Another medical update

I have put off writing, simply because I am just ticked off with the situation. I went to the doctor this past week, and one of the things he wanted to do was review my blood work, which was ordered by different doctors. I waited in my exam room while he got the results faxed over from the blood lab. Then came the results I was dreading…it looks like my pre-diabetes has turned into full diabetes. 2 years of dieting with low carb has done nothing but elevate my blood sugar! I was suspicious a month ago when a finger stick blood test at the hospital revealed elevated levels.

I am waiting on another blood test as we speak. But, I am probably going to start off on pills. And it also means they will be starting me on a glucose monitor.

Other than that, since going to the wound specialist, I seem to be finally starting to heal. So there is some good news, at least. 🙂
