Oh my gosh 15 is so high, what a scare you must have had. I really appreciate you sharing this here. My AC1 levels have not been that high but I had a heart attack in late 2022, the doctors attributed it to Covid because it was caused by blood clots, but anyway I also have a heritage of heart disease from my father's side. And then when I did all the tests to find out if I have thrombophilia, the results were negative. The specialist did not rule out the covid effect but added that it would be because it was combined with my high blood glucose problem, at that time, I did not know I had it and I could have had a big rise in blood glucose and also hypertension.

I understand that it is not easy to get used to taking a medication and the side effects. I have suffered some although mild and I had to change my medication once because I developed an allergy after taking one for a year. But as we become aware that changing our eating habits and exercise can help us and we learn to control ourselves, the whole thing becomes more bearable. I'm a sweet tooth but I live without any craving for sweets and I think that is a great achievement. I like what I eat and I allow myself a treat from time to time but I try not to abuse it.

I hope you are feeling better and better everyday and thank you very much for sharing your case. It touches me very closely.

A hug and thanks for being part of Silver Bloggers.
