@matigo A1C is a measure of how many of your red blood cells have sugar attached. It's meant to give you an idea of your blood sugar control over the course of 3 months.
Pretty sure I know what day threw it off. It wasn't Thanksgiving. :P
@matigo I thought the purpose of the Palm device was a second less functional phone…
Another "before and after" photo with the same shirt, this time from May 2016. The shirt is almost a tent now.
"You have a new result" says MyChart, almost a week later. It's missing the one result I actually care about--my A1C. ?
The latest sponsored ad I saw on the Tweeters was for some new diabeetus drug that causes you to pee out your sugar.
Still think it's better to just not eat the sugar to begin with, but that doesn't make any money for big pharma. Or big food. So you'll never see an ad for it.
@matigo That only gives you a point in time measurement and doesn't tell you if you're developing insulin resistance. Which begets lots of other modern diseases.
@variablepulserate I'm about where I stalled 15 years ago. Which is still about 40 pounds heavier than I'm aiming for.
On the left, me in Aug 2006 when after losing a bunch of weight, I was gaining again. On the right, me in November 2018. Same shirt now too big. Determined to keep it that way. #nsng #IntermittentFasting
@matigo of course, I realize that you may not be able to buy a blood glucose meter without a prescription in every country like you can in the US.
