Diagnostic Information

We went to the Doctor for follow up, and to obtain results of the Laboratory tests.  Overall, we have to be encouraged with results.

Cheryl's Glucose fasting was 135, still high but more important, was her A1C.  it was down to 6.4  Still a bit high, but all a direct result of her Diet change.  Her HDL up 5 pts to 32.7 TriGlycerites down 62 pts also.  Blood Pressure 135/82 at the dortors office, which we knew.  Overall cholesterol was 245.  A bit high,  and also up a little bit from last time.  Her insulin down to 8 units/day, also down.

In summary, we are now going to implement , exclusively, more good protein into the diet, only good quality oils, eliminating all junk oils, and a good quality liquid Nutraceutical for all mineral and vitamin supplementation.  As always, eliminating all white flour, white cane sugars, and all corn syrups. and watching carbohydrate intake, which is most difficult task.  Folk's we simply do not need the amount of carbohydrates we consume. The amount of carbohydrates we require are easily found in the fruit and vegetables, the complex carbohydrates.

More on this later, bye for now.  Bob & Cheryl.

Our goal, completely, eliminating blood pressure pill, and her dependency on the insulin shot.  Don't worry, we will be monitoring every day, and will post results every several days.

Were Back, And I Apologize

We've been dealing with a medical condition which Cheryl developed, shortly after she returned to work.  The condition, which approx 10% of Diabetics sometimes contract, called Charcot Foot.  Basically it's where Calcium leaches out of the bones, in diabetics the bones of the lower extremities.  Fortunately however,  it was isolated in her second joint of the big toe which was amputated.  The treatment protocol was 2 weeks of complete bed rest, staying off the foot.  The rest is designed to stop the process from continuing, and spreading to additional joints.  Were glad to say it worked.  We've been constantly monitoring and it still hasn't re-developed.  Cheryl is back to work.  She goes to the Physician and we will get test results from on her blood work done in the middle part of July.  We will see if the change in her dietary habits since contracting Diabetes have been successful in lowering her levels.  We will post the results, and also bring everyone up to date on our treatment protocol in our attempt in discontinuing the insulin, and other meds.
