Doctor Visits are Important
"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." Philippians 4:13 KJB
One of the regular stops on this journey to healthy living is doctor appointments. If you have any health concerns at all you need to see your doctor on a regular basis. I usually go every three months because of the diabetes, high blood pressure and cholesterol and asthma. Most everything is taken care of by my family physician but I do have specialists. Since I take allergy shot I make a yearly trip to the Allergy Clinic. I also see a podiatrists for my feet and the eye doctor because diabetes can have bad effects on the legs, feet and eyes. But my family doctor is great and he takes cares of most everything. My blood pressure and cholesterol are great and under control as is my asthma (most of the time). Since beginning my exercise program my diabetes is so much better. Late Sept-Oct 07 I had a really bad case of bronchitis and had to take steroids. This really threw my blood sugar number all out of whack!!! In January my A1C was well over 7 and it should be below 6.5. Everything affects your blood sugars if you are diabetic. Stress, the food you eat, sickness etc. can change the blood sugar readings and sometimes drastically. Since working out with Gloria and eating Living Lean meals my before and after meals sugar readings are super!! I went to the doctor last week and my A1C was 6.1!!! I talked to the doctor and we are striving for a reduction in medication and hoping to eventually eliminate some of the meds. That is one of my major goals: to lessen or eliminate the meds!
I feel so much better and have so much more energy. I am ready for my 5 AM wake up call every morning and I get so much more done each day. I hope my "blogs" are a help to you who read them. Your comments are welcomed. Thank you for following along with me on my journey to healthy living!!
