Well, at the beginning of the month I began my new diet in earnest, buying a scale to watch my weight and a new glucometer (which cost less than I was imagining) to watch my blood sugar. When I got the scale working at last (it came with bad batteries) I started recording my numbers daily. Here it goes in the order date-weight-glucose, covering eleven days. NS means No Significant change between weights. The decimal points seem a little finicky, but that's how the digital scale reads. The weight fluctuates a little wildly, but I'm glad the glucose seems to be going down regularly (I account for the reading on the 12th to indulging on oatmeal for supper).
2/2/25 275 167
2/3/25 NS 175
2/4/25 264.5 207
2/5/25 271.5 131
2/6/25 269.9 188
2/7/25 269 142
2/8/25 NS 142
2/9/25 270 144
2/10/25 269.7 143
2/11/25 NS 146
2/12/25 274 169
2/13/25 269.9 132
On the whole, I'm rather pleased with the progress so far. Looking back on my glucose readings, I had been averaging 250 for a long time, and sometimes much higher. My Ozempic seems to be killing not only my appetite but my taste buds, which is making dieting much easier, though I can feel my animal joy in life dying too. Keeping well away from the breads, noodles, potatoes, and rice.
