Weight Loss Journey Day 29 + A1c & New Meds

Tweet

Hello everyone, how are you doing? Well I hope. The doctor's office called today and I talked with the nurse. She told me that the doctor was looking into the new med and it was approved so I guess I will be started Ozempic. He said that would be in place of the other shot I am doing - I hope because I don't want two shots (although the new one is once a week I think). Anyways, they also let me know what my A1c was. It's jumped up to 9.1 - yikes. That's the highest it has been in 2 or 3 years. Three months of carbs didn't do me any good. I definitely need to be on low carb, as I got my A1c down to 5.6 before with sticking to it. I thought doing the WW would be helpful - but it made things harder. If I was not a picky eater, then I can see the WW diet being useful. However, for me it just cuts out the fats and I end up eating more carbs. So, I guess I lied when I said I would try it for a month. I just need to try to be better at sticking to the original plan that I had in January. My weight was up a few ounces from yesterday - no I am not concerned...I know it is because I had too many carbs. My blood sugars were not as high as yesterday (fasting wise) but still not good. What I ate today was worth 67 points - that's probably more than the 23 allowed points plus the 35 weekly points (10 more points I think). I know I will be up on the scale tomorrow, if not that will be a shock. We will just start fresh tomorrow.....and I hope I will get the hang of this someday soon. What do you think?
