Hi everyone!!
Well - I had a weekend of running 102 temp, left work early yesterday - went to doctor to find out that I either have bronchitis or pneumonia...
No wonder I felt like garbage! I got some really good meds and I am feeling a lot better - but no exercising for several days - the whole lung thing - so I am doing extreme stretching instead!
I did get to see my primary care physician and while I was there she also gave me lab results from my check up - and these are why I am staying committed:
My fasting blood sugar dropped by 30 points (almost normal now) still waiting for the results of my A1C test - that takes a bit longer to come in...
My cholesterol dropped by 20 points (almost normal)
My heart rate and blood pressure are both normal - (they are actually reducing those meds - don't want them to go too low - I will eventually be off the meds entirely)
My liver enzymes are way down.
Admittedly - my kidney proteins were not down - but she said that may take more time - because I did have high cholesterol, blood pressure and diabetes and the only thing being treated for the longest time was just the blood pressure - so that may take more time - we don't know yet.
As of right now - my doctor wants to wait 3 more months before she changes my diabetes medication - because she said that once I bring everything with in range - she is going to give me the opportunity to maintain it by diet alone....
