Hello my friends. Life is an adventure isn't it?
I think I mentioned to you about my husbands weight loss. Although he did diet at first he soon started losing weight at a startling speed. The unfortunate thing was that it appeared to be mostly muscle tone. I knew this wasn't healthy and suspected at first it was related to his treatment for Deep Vein Thrombosis.The other option was he was a diabetic. I went and bought test strips for our blood sugar testing machine and sure enough his sugar level exceeded the capacity of the machine 600+. Any one that has knowledge of this illness knows that kind of level is potentially deadly and we are so lucky he did just lapse into a coma and die. So after several more MD appointments and labs he has been diagnoses with Type 2 diabetes and High Cholesterol. More meds, special diet, more MD appointment, fingersticks 4 times a day all this has been keeping me hoping. Good thing I am a nurse.
The diet is good for all of us, there is NO more junk in the house. I went through and cleaned out anything that potentially could be a health risk to him or I. Our relatives are aware and there will be NO more consumption of food that is potentially poison to our bodies. It isn't a matter of choice anymore it is a matter of necessity.
So all that being said, I have had another full week and the results are a loss of 3 more pounds.
Love ya, Gee
I am down now...75 Pounds
