Goddess of the Type 2

I'm getting my blood checked every 3 months because of the big D.  The first 3 months after my diagnosis, I was very strict about what I put in my mouth.  It was a huge struggle, but my motivation was high - so I succeeded.

These last 3 months, not so much.  Oh, I still watch what I eat, but I'm quite a bit more lax about it.  For example, I have ice cream every now and again.  I even eat a cookie once in a while (though not often because they make my stomach hurt now).

So I was a little apprehensive about my blood test this morning.  I knew it wasn't going to be terrible, but I didn't expect this:

Test	Level	Normal
A1C	5.6	3.8-6.4
Cholesterol	113	1-200
Triglycerides	104	1-150
HDL	34	40-60
LDL	59	1-129

Let me just remind you that my A1C was 8.9 in September and 6.3 in November.  Am I rocking this thing or what?!!?
