Medical news--all good
Hi all,
For those of you who have been holding your breath for me (hopefully, none of you have been doing this) I'm fine. I saw the doctor today and my labs were all normal--no diabetes, no hemochromatosis, no thyroid issues. I have to be tested annually for all of the above, but she ended the appointment with a fabulous "see you next year."
She said that I'm obviously very sensitive to low blood sugar, and I have tendencies towards diabetes, both personally and genetically, so we're going to "keep an eye" on it. As for my current blood sugar readings, she asked me to keep testing randomly, and if it ever gets above 140, come back. She also said that I'm not allowed to gain weight. 20 pounds from now, she said, and I would be diabetic.
I have an appointment with a nutritionist (which means that the mother of one of Aidan's friends is a nutritionist and we're going to schedule a dual-purpose play date) and I'm going to keep up the yoga and such. I just want to be around (and still able to get around) for a long time. I'm far too sassy to be too sick to play.
Thanks for all the concern and support.
Love you,
Kimberly
