Monthly Blood Glucose

Hello everyone! As I said in my list blog post, I wanted to focus on not just fashion, music, and art, but also my health. By now, most of you know I'm a diabetic and I have to take insulin and check my blood sugar. (Don't be alarmed by the word blood. Been doing this for almost 6 years) Today I went to the doctor and here's a little update!

My blood glucose:
It's high in the morning time, good at lunch, and mildly high when I come home from school. I'm doing good when it comes counting the carbs and putting in my numbers. Yet, on the other hand, I need to remember if I'm eating a snack in between my meals, to count the carbs and take more insulin. Also, I sometimes forget to cover for the food that I eat. I just take insulin for my blood sugar. Otherwise, I'm doing awesome!

A1C Level:
For the people who don't know what an A1C level is, it's a test to measure glucose buildup in the blood over the past 2-3 months. My A1C level is doing fine. It was better than it was before.

Blood Pressure:
I'm doing fine. Nothing is wrong with my blood pressure! :)

Height and Weight:
I'm still 5"2 and I'm 98.5 pounds.

Blood test(s):
Amazingly there was no blood test that needed to be done this time. When I go back to the doctor, I guarantee I will have to!

Overall:
My doctor said that I've improved with my blood sugar and managing to take the right amount of insulin. She believes that I can do better with managing my sugar in the morning and when I come home from school.

That was my monthly update on my blood glucose!

☯ Love, Peace, and Happiness ☯
