appointment with family doc

Had my appointment with the family doc this morning to go over blood test results. I really should have canceled this visit. I felt like it was a wast of time. Everything she told me was stuff I already knew. We went over my sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure levels. All of which are high, but not high enough to be really bothersome. She talked about how getting my sugar levels under control and loosing weight will help with the cholesterol and the blood pressure. She said the the Metfomin will help with the sugar levels and possibly the weight loss (which it has already). It was decided that because I'm trying to get pregnant, I shouldn't go on any other medication. So nothing has really changed. Plus, I found it rather comical having a woman who is my size or possibly even bigger, who is also a doctor, telling me that I need to loose weight. I agree that I need to go down a few sizes, but I couldn't get that voice out my head that wanted to retort "I'll make more of an effort if you will to. How bout a wager. First one to loose 40 lbs wins". The thing that really frustrated me was when she asked how I was handling the Metformin. I told her I'm doing much better now, but I when I stared it was diarrhea for over a month. She proceeded to give me a lecture on how the intake of sugar and carbohydrates will increase the side effects of Metfomin, and that if I decrease how much I eat of those items, I should feel a lot better. I know thats true to a point, but I wasn't eating much of those at all when I started and I still had major problems with the runs. I even did a week of stage on the South Beach Diet, where I didn't eat any at all, and I still had the runs. Anyway, sorry for my little rant, but the appointment was just such a waste of time when I don't have a lot to spare.
