Some of the results here are not surprising, but I do have to look some things up and review what I'm doing to battle the disease. Significant changes need to happen or my body is going to start to shut down critical systems without my permission.
I'm not at all pleased with the results, but I'm also not shocked about them either. I need to undo years of practices and rethink the solutions on what I thought was working.
So... onward.

As I mentioned above, I need to do some more research, but based on the Microalbumin test above, my kidneys are passing protein through my urine. This possibly means I'm eating more protein than I'm using or that I need to adjust my diet to decrease the amount of meats and increase more vegetables and grains. It's really a Catch-22 situation.
Gods know that I don't need my kidneys to fail too.
At this point, I have to absorb what is useful and store the rest for analysis. I have to keep moving forward and not let this bog me down. Knowledge is power.
My overall takeaway is this:
- Eat more greens
- Reduce fatty and processed meats
- Exercise more
And finally...
My A1c has dropped by .07 points in 6 months!
I know I need to do more, but I'm not going to begrudge a small amount of success.

Love you Bother <3 keep up the good work. Not all those numbers are bad, as a matter of fact many are quite good.
