It's been a few months since I'd bothered to check the dates for my upcoming hospital appointments. For whatever reason, those appointments now occur on different dates—one for the diabetes clinic, and one for the cardio clinic. I'd forgotten that. I have my diabetes appointment this coming May 15 (about three weeks from now), but I've got my cardio appointment in July—the 10th, to be exact. I'm not too worried about the diabetes appointment, but the date for the cardio appointment has me worried: I'll be in France from roughly July 2 to July 6. I'm going to a wedding, which means plenty of eating and celebrating. I doubt I'll participate in much other than the ceremony itself, but I'm going to have to be extra careful about what I eat around that time.
Part of the problem is that the cardio clinic sees me about once every six months while the diabetes clinic sees me about once every four months, which didn't use to be the case. With the two clinics now seeing me on different schedules, there are at most two times during the year when both appointments will be on the same date.
I guess the best strategy is to get my A1c as low as possible before I head to France, then to do a good bit of walking (in the July heat and humidity—joy) upon my return.
