What a lot of data to record and absorb!
- I am 63.5 years old.
- I have slightly elevated blood pressure and take 10 mg of Lisinopril daily.
- I have hypothyroidism and take 125 mcg of Levothyroxine.
- I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in August of 2013 after an A1C reading of 6.7. I started using the blood glucose meter, monitored diet, and tried to add more exercise. I used the app Calorie King to track carbs. I lost 15 pounds in less than 3 months and my A1C reading dropped to 6.4. Now I’m on the 6 mo. test cycle.
- I have arthritic knees and do almost daily PT.
- I received the little FitBit computer for Christmas. It tracks my steps and many other things.
- The iPad used to take the photo uses various apps to keep track of some of these issues. Others are in hand-written logs.
