Went to the Dr. today!

Here’s the lowdown for those interested in the DT2 life:

A1C is 5.8mmols (down from 6.0mmols last quarter) and my health stats were super good! Dr. Snozyk was very happy with my numbers and my logs!

She mentioned that she liked seeing that my caloric intake decreased as the type of workout changed over the summer and that was great and it should increase as the workouts intensify in the next coming months.

She said that I was the most fit patient she’s ever seen. So woot!! Bonus marks for me!!

I told her I discovered that should I carb load even just a wee bit, it takes a few days for my body to recover as my morning BG is still high for a couple days after.

She said the odd carb load (within Mannie Numbers! Which is to say, after dinner mmols should be no more than 9.0mmols as the steepest spike for my liking.) can happen just be mindful that it takes a few days for the body to heal itself from that kind of sugar (the conversion of carbs to glucose) damage.

So to reiterate, when we say things like “oh I don’t eat this way very often!” It had better be only twice a month in my case because it takes that many days to heal each time. I can’t really carb load for a week because it will just take just as long to recover so I may as well just not do it in general.

It’s no different than routine exercise and diet maintenance and then going on holiday and abusing the body for a couple weeks... you gotta start all over again to maintain that level of fitness you had before the debauchery, the set back is not worth it sometimes.

Remember, it’s the repetitive spikes and drops, and the fact that I’m diabetic which makes the spike last longer before it drops, it’s that behaviour that causes the internal damages to the organs, just because I can’t see it doesn’t mean it’s not happening, when I finally see the colour of my skin change or my eyesight gets worse, or my healing process for minor cuts and bruises takes longer, the damage on the inside is already bad.

I am aiming to avoid this kind of outcome. That’s why I maintain my levels of exercise that I do, why I eat the way I do, and why I log everything I do.

It’s been a life saver for me and I hope to live until 💯!
