My ulcerative colitis remains in clinical and biochemical remission. Despite regular exercise, a healthy and modest diet, and shedding 850 grams of body weight, my fasting blood glucose level was higher than that six months earlier.
According to the Truelove-Witts classification of disease severity, my ulcerative colitis is mild. My partial Mayo Score of 0 indicates disease remission.
My diagnosis of ulcerative colitis was based on clinical history, colonoscopy, CT scan findings, and response to treatment; histopathology was equivocal.
