Or to be slightly more specific, according to the doctor, I am no longer pre-diabetic.
According to the comparison of bloodwork, in the last six months, half of them spent with my new weight loss routine of consistent exercise and minor minor tweaks to my caloric intake (because I can't yet deal with giving up the bacon), my overall cholesterol dropped from 212 to 154 and my LDL dropped from 140 to 82!
And specifically to the diabetes scale, I went from a 5.9 to a 5.5 (anything below 5.7 means you are in the clear ... anything above 6.4 means you are confirmed to have "the sugar" .. anything in between flags you in the warning category of pre-diabetes).
In other news ... it looks like I'm gonna live a little bit longer and annoy everyone just a little bit more ... and ... you're welcome. All kidding aside ... thanks to loved ones in both the real world and the virtual one for the support on this journey (that continues ... )
