New vlog? + possibly bad news
10:27 AMHey guys! I am working on a new vlog that I will be posting either on here or on youtube soon!
But, I also have some bad news.
This might turn into a rather lengthy story...
I bruise easily
Right thigh
Right thigh again
Right shin
I have no idea how I got any of these bruises. The one on my shin, I am assuming is from moving, but the ones all over my thigh just showed up today. So, naturally, I turn to the interwebs to figure out wtf is going on. I found a website that basically said it could be a bunch of things: hemophilia, cancer, diabetes, or, ya know, just nothing. But, because diabetes runs in my family, I decided to check my fasting blood glucose levels. 106. A normal range is anything less than 100. So, because my level was between 100 and 125, I am, aparently, pre-diabetic. Yeah, my level was still pretty low for pre-diabetes, but I'm still scared. My grandpa lost his leg to diabetes. I don't wanna loose my leg.
Honestly, I'm thinking this is because of all the high sugary and high fat foods I have been enjoying {and boy, have I been enjoying them!} lately. Like, two nights ago I went to Ian's Pizza and then to The Chocolate Shoppe where I had a yummy vegan pizza slice and super good soy ice cream. And then last night, in celebration of National Cake Day, S, his cousin A, and I made this beauty:
That's a cake.
And I had that for dinner...So, quite honestly, that could have contributed to the high blood levels, but I had the cake around 9pm and was tested {fasting} at 10am, so there was a significant time gap in between.
Am I freaking myself out? Of course. But, I do think I need to lay off the super fatty treats for a while. And if I want ice cream, I can make some delicious nana ice cream!
Today, I am gonna focus on eating lots of veggies and will be testing my levels again later tonight, so I will post an update either today or tomorrow. And then tomorrow morning, I will retake my fasting levels to see what it is then.
Alright, I'm gonna go workout at home for mabe 30-60 mins. Later tonight I am going to the gym to do day 9 of the squat challenge. Oh, yeah, I stopped with the poetry. I used to love writing poetry so much, but I just haven't been motivated at all..so, sorry for anyone who enjoyed my lil poems. They weren't much at all, so I thought it would be fine that I stopped.
Alright, I will update you guys later.
