Doctor visits aren't scored like the Olympics. There are no longer perfect 10s in gymnastics. Then why is it I feel so defeated? It took me two days to open this journal to jot down the results.
Every lab except for one came back normal. Yes, I realize that's an accomplishment considering the same tests in March came back dangerously high. (If I were in grade school, the principal would have sent a note home to my parents.)
The one the doctor wants to monitor is the ALT (liver enzyme), which she said is often symptomatic of high protein/low carb diets, and wants to follow up in September.
The best news, though, is (ahem)... she thinks there's a good chance she can take me off of my diabetes meds in September if everything remains consistent. (Oh, did I mention my random non-fasting blood sugar was 102 on Tuesday?) Quite a contrast to my other doctor telling me I needed to start insulin back in March, huh? Amazing what changes we can make when confronted with a daily needle.
Am I still bummed by the ALT test? Well, yes. But then, again, I was always an overachiever in school. Good thing I'm too old to be in the Olympics... or I'd be figuring out a way to bring back perfect 10's to gymnastics.
P.S.
Congrats to my daughter's former coach. 1 1/2 of his gymnasts are on the U.S. women's gymnastics team. (1/2 because one used to be one of his girls.) Good luck to all of them.
