I had great news from my doctor appointment today.  My blood levels all were in the good range, including my cholesterol.  My A1C was still a little high but at 6.6 it’s a lot better than what it has been in the past.  The first thing the doctor asked me was if I had been riding my bicycle because he knew right off that I must have been doing something to get my levels down.  Now if I can just get my weight down and keep it down I think I would feel better about myself.
