Had my doctor appointment this morning by video and when I have my blood tested I worry that my A1C glucose will be high, but again stayed at 6.0. This number is still prediabetes but close. Anything above 6.4 is considered type 2. I'll take it.
We've had two days of clouds and rain, but after today, the weather turns sunny and mild. For the next week this will hold giving me the opportunity to travel I-40 across the country.
I will finish packing on Friday and head out Saturday morning. Following is the final version of my planned route and stops along the way. Driving time each day is around 5+ hours till I reach Deming, NM and then slows down drastically.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Sounds like long travel days for the first few legs ... well long to me, anyway. Deming is a great place to slow the pace. Looking forward to your travel updates.
ReplyDeleteWishing you and Yuma safe travels!
Thanks Jeff. For me 5-6 hours with breaks is no problem. Looking forward to getting started. Happy Thanksgiving.
DeleteThat's wonderful, Doug! Congratulations on the glucose #.
ReplyDeleteI can tell you are excited and anxious to be on the road again. Is Yuma just as excited?
Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you Patsy. I'm sure it will take Yuma a few days to adjust. He has it pretty easy and is spoiled. I'll take care of that.:))
DeleteSafe travels and look forward to following your blog along the way . Hope you have a good thanksgiving .
ReplyDeleteThank you Vernon. Happy Thanksgiving.
DeleteHeh Doug,
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing your pictures and posts! Safe travels! Take care, Rawn
Thanks Rawn. Me too. Happy Thanksgiving.
DeleteHappy Thanksgiving and safe travels. Weather is gorgeous here in AZ.
ReplyDeleteThank you and Happy Thanksgiving to you two.
DeleteThat looks like the exact same way I took to get to Maine. New Mexico isn't the most scenic route, but traffic is light and it's mostly downhill!!! Happy safe travels and Happy Thanksgiving to you both ... and Yuma of course.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy. I kinda like the NM high country. Better than Texas for sure. We're having a quiet Thanksgiving. Hope you have the best one and eat lots of turkey. :))
DeleteGlad your numbers are good and that you'll soon be on the road.
ReplyDeleteThat gives you the chance to Enjoy Thanksgiving with Dolly and the Family.
Looking forward to your adventures.
Be Safe and Enjoy!
It's about time.
Thanks Rick. Have a great Thanksgiving too.
DeleteNot long now and you'll be ready for your winter adventures!
ReplyDeleteTrue. Thank you for your understanding and Happy Thanksgiving. Love you.
DeleteCongrats on the testing. On the road you go, how exciting. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
ReplyDeleteThank you. Have a great Thanksgiving with your family.
DeleteBerberine will drop your A1C below pre-diabetes... and it also takes out inflammation in the body as well as a bunch of other great benefits.
ReplyDeleteThanks MCA. I did take your advice and bought it and have been taking for three weeks now. Haven't taken long enough yet but I think it helped.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the 6.0. Bring warm clothes. The nights are in the low 40's and we are freezing! But then again we are cold weather wimps. Enjoy the drive.
ReplyDeleteNew Mexico was always the area we slowed our travels down as well. Always a great feeling seeing those mountains ahead know knowing that hard fast run across the mid west was soon coming to an end and the best part of the journey was about to begin. Good stuff.
