The ongoing challenges of diabetes and fibromyalgia...(and everything else)

I just got my A1-C's back and the doc made notes for me. He wants me to do a total diet revamp as he is claiming my high triglycerides are associated with high carb intake and he wants me to improve my low HDL with exercise. My carb intake has gone up from previously BUT it isn't as high as someone who doesn't regulate their carbs. You can't have a superhigh carb intake and lose weight very well or at all, especially on glipizide, which is known for normally packing on the pounds. So...

That said, this new doc knows how to read and does so (unlike the other one). He knows I have fibro. He knows I lost 3 lbs since June and he knows the previous doc (his associate) was effing up my diabetes meds for the last 3 months. He is smart but cautious and against my better judgment I find myself liking him prematurely---which annoys me to some extent. I mean what if he turns out to be an idiot too? LOL, can you tell I'm pretty fed up with most doctors? I'm trying to be open but I'm getting pretty tired of taking chances and wasting my time and still ending up with a moneygrubbing arrogant yet ignorant jackass.

This new doc annoys me greatly but he is WAY better than the previous @ss so I'm going to do what he asked since he does listen better and is truly trying to help. He is also taking a cautionary approach to my issues which is good, he believes me but he is also taking all possibilities into consideration and the final decision isn't in yet but I like him, he pays attention.

Ah....it's time to implement a new Spring/Summer diet anyway, right? RIGHT!

My big goal is to balance this all without exacerbating my colon issues as my GI appointment isn't until May 14th and any um "violent" episodes will result in an ER trip. Tricky and challenging but I'm literally putting my @ss on the line so I'm going to do my best (LOL)

So, off for the menu/diet revamp and planning. Not nearly as fun as it might sound.

I have three more months for the A1-C's to come back within target or we will be trying new meds...not insulin though, not yet. This is good news and I'm going try to do my damnedest to get myself within targets. This exercise stuff though...going to be tricky with the fibro and other issues as I have found in the past but I've got several different things I'm going to try so we'll see... (more on that later).

Now: menu/diet revamp & planning and then off for some much earned studio time (yay!)

Hope y'all have a great afternoon :)
