25 May 2021

Today, May 25, 2021, I am once again starting to change my eating and exercising habits. I have been diagnosed as diabetic for probably ten-years. Quite honestly, and totally dangerous, I continued to live my life as a non-diabetic. Added to that, I have high blood pressure and only 2/3's of a kidney. My left kidney was removed due to renal cell carcinoma in about 2001; the right kidney, unrelated, developed the same cancer. Luckily, it was in a location which was operable without having to remove the whole kidney.

Two weeks ago I did a fasting blood test which registered my A1C at 8. Not normal, but not what it could have been considering my disregard of my diabetes. Two years before that, it was at 10.

I visited a nephrologist yesterday for the first time ever!!! My kidney function is only at 40%. It will not get better, but the goal now is to ensure that it doesn't get worse.

So this is my plan. Walk more, record my steps, increase my steps as I continue to walk. Learn more about and practice eating foods which are beneficial to controlling my diabetes and loosing weight and building muscle. I will keep a food diary. Also, my nephrologist wants me to record my blood pressure twice a day at different times to get a better average of the numbers.

Fat Secret was my go-to site years ago. There may be better ones out there, but I will stick to this for now.
