Jeff Hagen Gets an “A” on his Diabetes Report Card

I’ve got excellent news to share from my doc!  Yesterday, I had my regular visit.  In order to keep my diabetes in check, every four months I have blood samples drawn and lab-tests completed.  The test results were the best they have been since I was diagnosed with Type-2 Diabetes in 2002.  My blood sugar (Hemoglobin A1c) test was at 6.1%, a full point lower than 16 months ago..prior to starting our work on Fantasy Healthball.   Guidelines I’ve receive from my doctor indicate a treatment goal of < 7.0% for diabetic patients. 

My doctor commented with raised eyebrows when he looked at my scores, “Most patients I have get higher numbers as they age…but yours are going down…whatever you’re doing…keep doing it.”  As you all know, what I’m doing is playing Fantasy Healthball!  Cholesterol and Lipids Panel were also the best in over 6 years.  The life-habits I have been slowly changing are starting to kick-in with real, improved data.  I was losing about a pound a week but have fallen off that average a bit lately.  The snow melt here has me encouraged that I’ll be back on that track or better soon.  However, it is an undeniable fact that I am healthier today than I was a year ago.  Better days are certainly ahead…If you’d like to join the growing number of Fantasy Healthball players, just click here.
