Sadly this will be the last time I see my primary care dr. He is retiring as his diabetes is out of of control and is affecting his vision. He was off for over a month getting his blood sugar levels under control, but the damage to his vision was so bad that it forced him to look at things and he decided if he wanted to travel and enjoy retirement he needed to do it now before his sight got any worse.

This was a three month checkup (that turned out to be a 5 month check up since he was out of the office)for me and I was up 5 pounds since January my blood sugar levels were also up and he said he would classify me as pre diabetic. He told me I need to listen to my body, cut back on the carbs and get this weight off! I know he is right. I’ve just got to do this. I need to look at food as fuel for my body and not for comfort and pleasure. He said he wants to have me seen in 3-4 months to get my A1C levels checked - so I’ve got some time to turn this around.

Just being accountable and wish it was as easy to do as the dr said.
