Blood and Thunder?

My A1C level is 5.4 from today's measure, up a little from last time (5.1) but still considered healthy. My doctor says I can try going off Actos entirely. Of course, I get this news an hour after picking up my latest re-up on the prescription, oops. (Mind you, I have a rebate coupon, so overall it only costs me about six bucks, and it keeps for a year in case my levels start to go back up.) No word on the results of the cholesterol test I submitted blood for this morning, it might take longer to run.

I'm a bit overdue on mine, must schedule with doctor again, but I think it'll be in the 6-7 range, which used to be considered OK. It was in the 10-12 range earlier in the summer, which is pretty horrible.

Mastadon fan?

"Blood and Thunder" is, indeed, an old phrase. Comes from an 18th Century oath.
