A1C 7.9
Ferritin 328.
Wow, wasn’t expecting either of those.
Would a pump help me get even better control? I noticed a bit of weight gain last time my A1C was in a good range, don’t know if there’s a correlation but have gained a bit again lately.
And the ferritin. That’s high. Have I talked about the iron infusion I had a few weeks ago?
So I had IV iron treatment. Instead of ingesting the iron in hopes that I’ll absorb it, the IV treatment puts it right into my bloodstream. The fact that it is so high now seems obvious that I have an absorption issue somewhere in my digestive tract.
Doctor has recommended that I go for a colonoscopy, see if anything shows up. Nervous about that. Hoping the procedure will find something and hoping it doesn’t. It’s so frustrating having conditions come up in my body that really have no definitive reason. I know that’s the deal with autoimmune disorders, like diabetes, but it would be so nice to have explanations.
Anyway, I definitely do have more energy now and am sure that is related to both the lower A1C and the increased ferritin.
