Two days before I was flying down to Argentina for trout fish8ng back in February, my rheumatologist tried to convince to not go as my blood sugar was too high and my liver functions were three times the acceptable levels. No way was I bailing out on this trip. I had a doctor as part of my trip and she would notify me if I started turning yellow from liver failure. I went, caught a lot of 5rout and didn’t die.
Upon return my doctors pulled off of my arthritis meds, my pain meds which I rarely took anyway, and my cholesterol meds. They boosted my Metformin and added glipizide for my diabetes.
I just started adding carbs slowly back to my diet last week as I have dropped 35 to 40 pounds since March, my A1C is 5.6, and my liver is functioning normally. Hopefully in three months they will pull some of the meds off of my schedule and they have already allowed me to cheat occasionally with som3 carbs. But man has it been a boring six months. I weighed in yesterday at 188 down from somewhere north of 235 when I start3d this little adv3nture.
Way to go Gary! I am right there with you my man!
