Appointment today

I have a follow up appointment today. Had my blood tests done last week, so today I'll hear the results for those labs.

The scary part is this: I am normally a very good girl with my eating. I've only overdone it twice so far - Christmas I indulged in a few too many goodies, and then again the very night before my blood draw, when we went to a party.
It was an Australia Day party, and the hostess had so many wonderful Aussie treats that we normally don't get - all of them sweet :-(

I don't dump, and don't have any real food issues, so there was nothing stopping me from sampling every single thing there 

I bet my glucose level (which has been perfectly fine) was through the roof from that indulgence the night before, and Dr Srikanth will tell me off big time.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaa, I want someone to come hold my hand !!!!!!

Phew, all is good. My glucose was only 86, so my body took good care of all the sugar.
My A1C is 4.7 !!!!!! I am so thrilled about that.

All my values are good except for the iron - it is on the low side again.
So he upped my iron pills to 3 times a day (such a pain,  working that in with all the endless calcium I have to take, too) as well as sending me for another 5 iron infusion.

He wasn't happy about me me moaning about that  :-(

Ah well...... could be worse, right?

You are right it could be worse.  Make sure you are taking that iron with something acid, like a vit C, or even a little juice.  Glad to hear that your sugar wasn't all crazy and your A1C level, right on!!

Edited cause I can't spell.
