Official Results from the Doctor.

I have been getting discouraged. I'm sticking to this diet with very few slip ups. However the weight is still not dropping off like it does for everyone else. I keep saying Im doing it mostly for my sugar & when I check it, it's always better. I have heard so many people tell me how dangerous this is for me to be doing. How that while my sugar may go down, it will wreak havoc with my cholesterol. I have tried to figure out what is causing my slow weight loss to no avail. So these last few days, I have been questioning myself. Is this really worth it. Is this doing enough good for me to have to miss out on doughnuts, cereal, and whatever else I see someone else having that I suddenly realize I loved.

Well, I had a doctors appointment today. I was going to let that be my deciding factor in if I was going to continue. If Im not going to lose weight quickly and it's not helping my health or actually harming it in some way I will just chuck it all in and start something else. So here are my official results from the doctor.

Bloodsugar a1c. In January it was 9.4 (they actually want it under 6) Today March 30 it was 6.8.

Total cholesterol January 196 (not bad) Today 175

Triglycerides January 319 Today 126

My good cholesterol January only 36 (needs to be over 39) Today 47

Needless to say my doctor and I were very pleased. I was dissapointed in my weight loss. With gaines and losses, my total official loss is just 9 lbs. When I complained how other people seem to lose faster, she reminded me that as a diabetic I won't respond to things like others and she said that if I keep it up, slowly but surely the weight will drop. So tonight I have a renewed enthusiasm.

Thank you all for reading and I will write more later.
