Quarterly blood test results

Busy night!

First a visit to the dietician, and I am down another 2Kg and 2.5cm off my waist.  This means I am 8.4Kg down in weight and 8.5cm smaller around the waist.  Based on that, I am now officially "fat", not obese anymore.  Still another 1.5Kg to my first goal, and 6.5 to the next, but I feel like I am making good progress here.

Afterwards was a trip to the GP to get my bloodwork results.  My HbA1c result was 5.0 which is really good news, when you consider the only medication I am taking is 2 metformin tablets each day.  The diet and exercise is definitely helping me a lot.

The Ferretin levels were 377, which is also showing that for now at least we have things under control.

Time to celebrate with a refreshing glass of water
