I Just Became A Member Of The Baarz Diabetics

So...it seems there is no such thing as having pre diabetes, (then why did the nurse tell me that). I have mild diabetes, which he is putting me on a pill 2 times a day for. He thinks if I lose weight and eat better and exercise that I may likely not need the pills anymore in the future. (one can hope for this). My thyroid is normal (insert laughter here as we all know that I am far from normal), my cholesterol is slightly elevated, but not anything to be worried about (doctor said he was surprised by this result). I have lost 10 pounds, not as much as I was hoping for (throwing that evil, lying scale in the trash). My blood pressure was way higher in his office, as was my pulse. (Yours would be too, if you are female, and you're sitting across from a good looking male doctor, and the only other guy that is hot looking, that you are allowed to look at is your husband). However I showed him the last month of my daily recorded BP readings and he says he thinks I am fine just taking half the water pill. My leg edema is only at a trace, (this is a good thing as my legs do not look like tree stumps any more). He had me do another blood test, my potassium may be to high, which is probably the reason for my rapid heart rate. (more like I got more exercise walking into and out of the doctors office, than I have all month). He cleared me to go to the gym, (anyone know the weight limit on those machines :P) to do some light cardio exercises. (I tried to tell him I do this every morning just getting out of bed, but he just gave me a funny look) Next appointment is in 3 months. So there it is in a nutshell :) Oh and I still need to meet with the dietician :( Already know what she is going to say: No more fast food. lol.
