Somewhere in the lower reaches
of the prediabetic scale
if one isn’t mistaken
a level not seen in years

Without fasting
with the customary banana
then peanut butter croissant
and coffee for breakfast

The doctor is clearly pleased
as she coveys the good news
in a phone interview
though advises cutting back
on the Metformin by 50%

Six months of Ozempic
has taken its toll
mostly in a good way
though diminished appetite
feels unnatural
dicey

Muscle loss then
the GP’s new concern
as some indeed disappeared
in the rush to shed
blood sugared pounds

Says continue exercising
as much as possible
keep her posted
to any changes

Next update in three months
