We've Missed You..We Apologize

Were human, we've been extremely busy, and life has been treating us fairly well. The Economic downturn hasn't affected us, thankfully much at all. I know that cannot be said for everyone. If your one of the affected, we hope your circumstances change.

But one thing has changed in our lives, both Cheryl and I have backsled into some bad eating habits, have put on quite a few pounds, and we both are feeling the effects.

There is no excuse for it other than we became very complacent, and thought we could get by with this type of attitude toward our health. Well, you cannot!

We will be informing you were we are, and what were going to do about it. Stay tuned.

Continued Improvement

Improvement Continued

We seen the Podiatrist today.  Cheryl's toe , and Charcot Foot are just fine.  We also are happy to report her blood pressure today was 125/73, this after working all night.  We  have succeeded in  eliminating her need for blood pressure medication.  This primarily because of her diet change, and supplementation.  We will however, monitor everyday, but one med eliminated.

Were now more aggressively dealing with her Diabetic condition.  Were utilizing supplementation, and a few trace minerals good for Blood Sugar control.  We believe we will be successful, primarily because none of her blood sugar control system seems to be broken.  Stay tuned, good news to continue  Bob & Cheryl

Some Success To Report

We are happy to report, we have successfully succeeded in eliminating Cheryl's dependence on the Blood Pressure pill she was prescribed.  We have been very closely monitoring this.  Last week she had a reading of 117/68.  It's consistently in the 115-120/70-80 range all the time.  Therefore, we will continue to monitor each day.  Folk's, the body in most cases will respond.  Prescription meds simply do not address  the root cause of the medical conditions.

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.

Specific Diagnostic Lab Info

Folks,  It's been a week since posting any information on Cheryl's JOURNEY.  Happy to say she returns to work tomorrow.  Becoming more active will indeed help the blood sugar level.  Were regularly at 150 first thing in the morning now, but Cheryl is taking 15 units of Insulin once a day.  This we will slowly decrease, regularly monitoring.   We have a good handle on her diet.  We've incorporated only good quality Omega3 cooking oil, a good quality full spectrum liquid Nutraceutical,  and 3 additional Minerals to support Blood sugar metabolism.  We've incorporated a good quality Omega3 Essential Fatty Acid.  Some of this regiment to address some poor lab results.   Triglycerides at 335 HGL Cholesterol (Good) only 27.5   We need for these to improve significantly.  However her overall Cholesterol at 197 which isn't at all alarming.  So, in summary were in high gear now, and hope to post improvements in blood sugar each and every couple weeks, and decrease Insulin dependency.  So, bye for now.  Bob & Cheryl.
