Good news: my leg pains have eased up over the weekend. I don’t know why, but I’m not complaining. I just hope it lasts. I wish I could say the same for this Edma.

My lab results are back – more good news: my A1C’s are still 6.0%! I don’t know how I managed that, because I was sure it would be higher this time, but once again, I’m not complaining.

Bad news: my Cholesterol is above 200, my CBC’s are 16.9 and my Hemoglobin is 9.9. Translation means, I have an infection somewhere and I’m anemic (again). Cheryl is of the opinion that the anemia may be due to the continued Steroid use.

We have no idea why my CBC’s are high or what the infection might be. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s another UTI (Urinary Tract Infection); between CIDP and the diabetes: I’ve had more than one since last July.

Test / My Results / Range
A1C = 6.0% (< 7%)
Total Cholesterol = 215 (need to do better)LDL Cholesterol = 128 (0 – 130)
HDL Cholesterol = 62 (this is good)Triglycerides = 124 (< 150)
Glucose = 92 (within range)Hemoglobin = 9.9 (on the low side)
CBC’s = 16.9 = (4.0 – 10.50) Too high
