Emperor@feddit.uk 10 months agoNasty business - mine got high enough that I was threatened with hospital but it’s on its way down now and Inam hoping my next annual (always a typo danger) check gives much better numbers, although the last lot weren’t bad I was expecting worse after the lack of checks during lockdown and the shitty old time I had of it in the last few years. Comparing numbers with my cousins at my aunt’s funeral and I reckon I’ll outlive the lot of them.

Well done for getting it down. It’s tough to do, as all the fun stuff makes it go up.
It’s funny, when the subject comes up, you do end up comparing numbers. Everyone I’ve talked to about this has been telling me theirs haha.

It’s not been too bad (helped by my giving up booze a long time ago), I was just able to start cooking for myself. I had cut down sugar, red meat and UPF but I’ve been able to do that more without it being a hardship. I am not down to the weight or probably the fitness leveI was 5ish years ago (before a bought of illness) but, factoring in a bit of Christmas weight gain, I have lost 12kgs since this time last year, which has really helped and I noticed I have not only gone down a size in clothing but now need slim fit (so I may have more muscle mass this time around). However, we’ll see what my numbers look like in a few months.
I think at “a certain age” they start giving routine blood tests and these days you get a handy print-out for further study.
