Happy Homemaker Monday
Visit Sandra and join in with HHM! I had a quite a week. It started with a doctor's appointment. I was congratulated on losing weight and for having a more positive outlook (i.e. managing my depression/anxiety). But the next day, when my lab results arrived, I received quite a shot. Uncontrolled type 2 diabetes. Seriously uncontrolled. If any of you are familiar with A1C numbers, my fasting count was 11.7. Yeah. So, my doctor got authorization from my insurance and I am now taking Mounjaro shots once per week. I started them on Friday and on Saturday my entire body was in so much pain! I found out that 25-30% of people have an autoimmune response which can cause your joint pain to have a major flare! Other than that, I've had some minor headaches and nausea.
Coming up, I have three doctor's appointments this week. I also re-joined WW and I'm on the diabetes and GLP-1 plans. It keeps track of my carbs/proteins/veg and there are special meetings and groups.

Sorry you're not feeling well. Hope you feel better soon. My lab results showed high cholestrol, so far they want me to change my diet and exercise. I love the highlighter collection. I have pen collection like that. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteHugs! I hope the changes you are making make you feel better soon! have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteHello beautiful Friend! Sorry for the rough news you got - but how wonderful to have answers and a way to take matters into your hands now. Sending big hugs and love & support for how you've got this Lady!! I will continue to follow on well versed women. :) I"m not on FB much but will make efforts to check in regularly. Blessings on your week ahead. 🙏🏻💗❌⭕️
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry about your Diabetes diagnosis. My oldest brother had the same thing happen last year, it was a shock to him. Glad you're one step ahead already with your weight loss, you know you CAN get off the meds eventually. My brother did. He changed his diet and lost a ton of weight, and his numbers dropped dramatically. When he went in the doctor said he was shocked he wasn't in a diabetic coma with how high his numbers were. But, truly, low carb, no sugar did the trick for him. I'm praying for you my friend ♥
ReplyDeleteouch for the rough news but you are working on it, which is very good. Good for you working on the well-versed women group . Have a great week
