I thought I was going to have to wait another week to get my labs my family medicine dr ordered that I had drawn on the 22nd but my pdoc was able to access them. This was a big deal lab because last time I was pre-diabetic and if I had another reading in that range I was going to be diagnosed diabetic. I have lost nearly 25 lbs since June and that seems to have worked. My A1C is in the normal range again! I don't know my fasting sugar, I didn't remember to ask that, but I should be safe from diabetes treatment for now.

I also found out my clozaril level being so high didn't do anything bad. Kidneys, liver, etc are all fine. Now we just need that level to come down another 100 units and I'll be back where that should be. She's being very cautious with taking away the med though at this time because the last 2 years I've had severe depressions starting in January and I don't need to lose meds at this time. But we'll figure it out. I think she'd even let me stay around this level with monitoring until spring or we have any existing depression treated thoroughly.

And that should be the end of medical issues for me for a while (unless my family doctor has another concern next week. In my view he needs to just tell me good job on the weight loss, labs are good, nothing scary now, go home and congratulations. But that may be wishful thinking.)
