An Unwanted Diagnosis

I've been losing weight. A lot of my habits and other lifestyle changes have been changing the past six months or so. When my insurance came out with an incentive program to help people lose weight, I decided I would take them up on it. I've already lost weight, but I was unsure how much. I just know that clothes were becoming too big for me. So a sleep study to help me work out some insomnia issues and a blood test was in order.

It seems that my cholesterol has been going up. Some other chronic issues were still there (those prevent me from becoming a drunk and have my liver shut down) but the biggest concern was my glucose levels. Seems I'm pre-diabetic. I sat and listened to the doctor spell out what it will mean to me and followed it up with "You seem to be taking this in stride." "Well, it wasn't unexpected. I've always had sugar issues but it never manifested this way. There's no point in protesting so I will have to make changes in the way I do things. I can do that."

No medicine. They'll be informing me about diet changes sometime this week, I assume. It isn't the end of my life, but things will change. More of an inconvenience.

At least I hope so.
