I went for my quarterly health check-up, and the news is mostly positive. My doctor is delighted with the progress I've made on the diabetes front (he actually said "Whoa" when he saw my blood test results.) He cut my daily meds dose by a third, but I'll still monitor my glucose to make sure it doesn't creep back up again. We also talked about how I'm trying to lower my cholesterol, and he recommended I try a non-statin drug for that. Since I haven't been able to lower it much via diet and exercise I agreed to give it three months. My blood pressure, liver and kidney function and leg dopplers also look good.
There's not much that can be done for my trigger finger without shots or surgery, so I'm going to baby it for a while and see if it improves. All things considered, I had a great check-up.
