Doing really well. Got my blood work back from Kaiser this morning and over all the numbers are within normal. YAY!
There are only 2 numbers that came back lower than they were, but are still above where I need them to be. My Total Cholesterol, which is at 207(normal is below 199) and my LDL, which is at 143, but is better than the 164 it used to be.

Loss of 18 lbs according to weight from last visit to this visit, 210->192

06/11/2015 GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE 81

Glucose, Fasting (70-99 mg/dL) A fasting blood sugar level less than 100 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L) is normal. A fasting blood sugar level from 100 to 125 mg/dL (5.6 to 6.9 mmol/L) is considered prediabetes. If it's 126 mg/dL (7 mmol/L) or higher on two separate tests, you have diabetes.
