Got a call from the doc this morning, after seeing him yesterday and getting bloodwork done.
A1C was… not bueno. Triglycerides (sp?) were a hair elevated but it wasn’t a fasting lab and I’d had lunch right before.
So, got metformin and some statin added to my routine now. Just lovely.
Don’t really eat sugary shit often, haven’t drank a soda in a few years, aside from a very rare sprite once or twice when I had a stomach bug. Even then it was a little 6oz can, not a big one.
But then there’s coffee. That’s the kicker. Well that, and I do make some form of potatoes 2-3 times a week.
Pretty low to non-existent on other carbs, major holidays maybe a little bit, but not routinely.
So well, hell. Here we go.
Anyone have a rec on “sweeteners” that are ok?
No pink or blue packets. Maybe splenda, but not fond of the taste. Stevia? Some other “natural” thing?
