In a conversation a little over a month ago, my doctor said she had come in ready to prescribe Metformin or Ozempic but was so surprised at my recent weight loss (which has been intentional, mainly reducing carbs and doing more walking), that she wanted to pause on any prescriptions and delay my blood draw to give the weight loss more time to help. I went in today, and my A1C was down to 5.9. Woot! She hasn’t gotten back to me, but I assume we’ll continue holding off. Thanks to @DSeid by the way, I had already planned to exercise, but his comment about the need to exercise above did stick in my head.
