Interim health update

Weight 244 lb:  that’s better.

A1c 6.4:  that’s good.

BP 115/95:  that’s not so good.

HDL 39 mg/dL:  that’s slightly bad.

Triglycerides 196 mg/dL:  that’s bad.

Conclusion:  the doctor says 1000 mg of fish oil with meals.  That’s more than I want to try at first; gonna go for 1000 mg morning and evening.  The doctor also says I can change Glucotrol to 5 mg extended release daily for convenience.  That’s still an awfully low dose; I was proposing to go to 5mg IR morning and evening.

I need to re-calibrate my glucometer; what the doctor’s said and what mine said didn’t agree worth beans.  (Mine is reading significantly higher.)
