I apologize for what is going to turn into a flood of posts. The internet slowed down by heaps earlier this week and is back to speed only today.

And I have so much to talk about!

I went to the doctor last Thursday for a checkup and to get the results for my blood test results from February. Given that I wasn’t called in early or anything, I wasn’t expecting anything too bad. As it turned out, the results were great.

Months before leaving the States, I had a full range of blood tests done. I was diagnosed well and truly pre-diabetic and just teetering the line to Type 2 diabetes. Pairing that up with the ovarian cysts I had, I wasn’t doing well at all.

Earlier this year, I reported the good news that I am now living a cyst free life. The new life I’m leading is even better.

My glucose tolerance test came back completely normal. I’ve reversed being pre-diabetic!

Even though my weight was (with accommodation for my usual TOM weight gain) exactly where I was weight-wise in February, it is nice to know that my efforts have been doing good things.

The appointment was disappointing in some ways because the doctor dismissed some of my concerns about my digestive system, but I had an appointment with my dietician anyway, so I let it pass.

I was a bit annoyed when she said, “Some people just have to exercise more” in regards to my lack of weight loss, but I let that pass, too. I know that I am working hard at a level that works me but encourages me to keep it up for the long term.
