[Pipsicle]

Hi Ladies- Hope things are going okay. It has been a quiet couple of days. I have been trying Atkins again for the last two weeks. The first week was a good result (-4) but the second week was not so great (-0.5).

The appointment went okay but my labs were not good. A1c was 8.2. Mongauro is supposed to cut cravings and hunger. And that lowers blood sugar. But my eating and cravings have nothing to do with hunger. i eat when im not hungry if food I like is presented. Glimiperide will lower blood sugar no matter what youve eaten. I had a time several years ago when my A1c was 5.7 or some such. at that time i was watching carbs closely and exercising daily. So i know its within my power without pills ot injections. My doctor mentioned Farixia if I cant lower it on my own. is your DH on that?


For some reason he laid me back and pressed on my abdomen. i dont know why except that I hVe a bit of a belly. as a result i have to go for an abdominal ultrasound. I dont know what hes looking for but I wish i would have asked him. What I read online is scary. That will be this Saturday coming.


I lost my tester again. it might have fallen behind my table again.

I was 177 at the doctors and also again today, so no change there.

Pipsicle I never could do the 2 weeks of Atkins once I got off of it. I've done very well with carnivore although I don't do it all the time. However, doing one week of carnivore made it easier to do keto which to me is so similar to Atkins. Don't know if that would help you are not. Carnivore doesn't have to be all steak and eggs. When I researched it, there are different ways to do it so you can live with it your way.

Carol Sue Yes DH takes Farxiga. The doctor gave him samples, but he also told him that it has gone generic so the price should be lower. We haven't had to order any but I hope it is down.

Weight this morning was 144.2 lbs FBG 111. My weight was 145 yesterday which means I lost 7 lbs last month. I hope to do that again this month. DH and I talked and decided not to talk to RN about other cancer treatments, we will wait until doctor. I read yesterday about another cancer medication they say can get rid of cancer, but I don't like the side effects and the chances of it working wasn't good enough to take the treatment. Only 43 people out of over 100 got rid of their can tumors. I think the chances of success should be at least 50% or more. So I won't mention it at all.

Back to exercises today. Not as many as I used to do but I am working toward getting back to it. I have infusion tomorrow so won't do them tomorrow. I will probably go back to carnivore or very low keto woe tomorrow. I want to at least get 4 days of exercises done this week if at all possible. Bloating is better when I eat carnivore or keto.

Hope everyone has a good day.
