GP review

I saw my gp this afternoon to review lab results and to discuss my ongoing cough and reflux issues. The good news is that my labs results are excellent. My glycated hemoglobin was 5.0% which is the best result I’ve had so far and was again reported as being consistent with a non-diabetic individual. Ironically, I have been eating far more sugar and probably a bit more carbs in general. My thyroid was good and my cholesterol had improved over my results from a year ago (before I altered diet and exercise). So, it was all good.

I think the reflux and cough have improved but the cough is still quite bothersome right now. Because I mentioned that I think my ear blockages have affected my hearing, she has suggested I have a hearing test. I will look into getting that done in the next few weeks.

Unrelated to my doctor visit, the right lens came out of my glasses last night due to a screw that came out. I couldn’t find it so I had to wear old glasses until I had them fixed up this morning. I found them markedly heavier and uncomfortable compared to my current ones. I was really glad to have my current ones back in use today.
