I have an appointment with a Dietician tomorrow afternoon to get educated on ways to reduce both my cholesterol and a1C readings. I have soooo many questions... Talked to a good friend who's a Type 1 diabetic for over an hour last night going over ideas & making up a list of things to ask. (She pretty much covered the blood sugar aspect for me but the cholesterol isn't one she's dealt with.)

I've been using My Fitness Pal to track what I've been eating and looks like my problem areas are mayonnaise and cheese. Thing is without paying for a full subscription, it doesn't show me how BAD the fats in those are, just that they're ridiculously high in fat & are the things that keep popping up on my chart, raising the numbers. I'd assume BAD but that's one of the things I want to ask about.

On the positive side, IF the scales here at home are at least consistent (and I've jumped on & off them several times and gotten the same readings), I appear to have lost almost 5 lbs. already. Fingers crossed!!!!
