Snow IS Pretty - To A Point



 I met with the GP in January for a follow up after my A1C test which was 6.3.  This is a slight increase from October’s 6.1 result.  The scales showed that my body had released the 5 pounds of gained holiday weight too.  I was happy to see that and hope to continue along the vein of consistent weight loss this year.   I think I had an anxiety attack while I was in the waiting room.  The doctor was running behind schedule – way behind by my standards.  I waited over 45 minutes to get into the office.  I don’t like waiting but I had interesting reading material with me and was not counting the minutes as much as I could have been.  My blood pressure was higher than it had ever been that day.  I didn’t feel very well either.  The doctor ordered an EKG.  She came back to the exam room and said she was going to bring the report to the cardiologist for his review.  While I waited, I think my BP went up more.  She came back to the room to let me know the Cardiologist said everything looked normal, that I was to go home to rest and asked if I’d been to an endocrinologist.  Next day I scheduled an appointment for the Endo.
