All the changes I've made with my diet and how I exercise have started to pay off; my latest round of blood tests show my cholesterol is finally dropping a bit. That's not the really great news, however: my A1C came in at 6.0. It was 6.7 the last time I was tested, before the holidays last year. Normal (non-diabetic) A1C is 5.8. So my diabetes doc will be very happy with my numbers.
That may also explain why I've been so tired and feel my arthritis flares more acutely these days. When you have a lot of sugar in your blood it makes you hyper and acts as a pain insulator. I am currently running extra-low.
A thought occurred to me as I started preparing to wash the fabric from my Goodwill bonanza bag: I've been hunting at various thrift stores for a object I can upcycle this year. Fate just dropped 39 yards of expensive fabric in my lap. Rather than just add it to my stash, it could be a very decent challenge to try to make something out of all of the yardage this year, and let that be my thrift upcycle challenge. :)
