Another Front

We have been status quo for several months, so I have not blogged. Continuing to do Vitamin C drip 1-2 times/week.

I was to have a PET/CT scan Sept. 7. They said, "be sure your blood sugar is under 200." Normally this has not been a problem. I checked several days prior, and my fasting blood sugar level (at 4:00 am) was in the 240's...oops!

So, my DRamov suggested a change in diet. I now am eating 6 meals per day (that sounds good, eh?) 250-300 calories/meal, and ONLY proteins (meats, nuts, eggs, etc.), fruits, and non-starch vegetables (no, no, potatoes are not non-starch veggies). NO GRAINS...not even gluten-free grains.

It has gone surprisingly well as today's number was 197.

He has also prescribed 500mg (small dose) Metforminto help get that number lower. It should be in the low 100's.

I had not kept up on my diabetic monitoring for the last year or so. This was my bad. We are confident that with diet, exercise, and monitoring we will get that blood sugar under control!

On another note...Thanksgiving and Christmas I will be eating "normally" but will be sticking to whatever dietary advice DRamov gives me other than that.

More info to come later...
