Thanks, Sparky!
Natter 76: Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Foaminess
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Thanks, all. I appreciate the support. I knew genetics were going to catch up with me at some point, but I was still hoping to be a unicorn.
Amy, I will definitely reach out, and I may be in KOP at some point this weekend. Would love to see you, socially distanced of course.
Did they tell you what your A1C was?
7.9. My sugar this morning was 157. You're not rambling at all; your perspective is very much appreciated.
Maria, once you go through the initial getting the numbers under control the maintenance becomes a much easier task. IOW, you got this.
Got a job interview in an hour, well, just the technical screening. There's not really any pressure since I'm fine at my current job, but I still want to do well. I wish I'd had more time to brush up on my knowledge, but I've been working extra lately so I'm not going in feeling well-prepared. OTOH, I have used all the stuff I claim to know.
Good luck, Gud!
Maria, 7.9 is not the worst! If you can bring it down to a low 7 or even under in the next three months, you're golden. And 157 fasting is not totally horrible, either. The goal is under 140, but that's not too far off.
Good luck, Gud!
I'm going to have to share my screen in a minute so I guess I will close this tab. Do not want, this is such a nice little security blanket!
Maria, I know it's a shock, especially what with everything else going on. But 7.9 is not bad - I once went to a group meeting with a dietician - under the auspices of a local hospital - where people were talking about A1Cs of 12 and higher. That's not too far off the non-diabetic score. I take Metformin - and I hate the taste ... put me off food for a while ... but I got my A1C under control.
They wanted mine at 90 fasting but that was for pregnancy.
Timelies all!
Once again I was woken up too early by Nova. I don't know what her problem is, other than being a cat.

The what now?! That's crazy. Then again, my last kid was born 16 years ago, so maybe things have changed.
