@kdfrawg unfortunately, I don't get to choose the locations. That said, they're not bad ones.

@kdfrawg the way I have to do the flights will leave me a little bit of slack time in London (haven't been there since 2000) and Dublin (never been there)

@kdfrawg that makes me instantly stupid :P

2017-08-23T19:57:11Z

sadly, no.

So, yeah, I just put a travel request in for London and Ireland in September.

@kdfrawg entirely possible. That said, I'm preparing for the discussion I will have with my doctor when I tell him I'm only eating once a day now.

@kdfrawg these days, I pretty much limit myself to:

  1. Water
  2. Broth
  3. Coffee (less often with Cream these days)

I'm definitely hydrated enough given how often I pee…

@kdfrawg I'm just curious why the levels would increase so much considering I'm now eating significantly less than before.

@kdfrawg I'm sure it will benefit a few people

I finally got my blood test results. Here's what I've learned so far:

  1. My new blood glucose meter is pretty accurate. The blood test says I had 113 mg/dL, my meter gave me a 114 mg/dL a couple minutes after the blood draw.

  2. A1C is a 6.5% (down from 7.1%). I thought it might be lower based on my recent blood glucose readings, but since A1C reflects an average over the last few months, it's a trailing indicator.

  3. My Microalbumin/Creatine Ratio is way higher than it's ever been (117 versus 53), which if I'm reading what the Interwebs says, this points to potential kidney issues.

I've got a couple weeks before I see the doctor. ?
