Today, while walking my laps/miles….I realized that I had not shared something.
Perhaps I think that I might jinx myself… but…oh well.
Larry and I are getting ready for our 41st anniversary and I am not wearing my rings.
We are still together and happier than ever.
It appears that I have lost a few pounds and the rings fall off of my finger now.
In the spring, a few months ago, I had a major health episode.
Sick, could not stand very well and lost my vision.
The {diabetic} medicine seems to have made me very ill.
{please note, I felt sick for months after I stopped taking meds}
I called our family DR ASAP and told him that I was stopping all meds. {4 of them}
The next week, I went to my endocrinologist.
She agreed with me about the meds
and
put a Free Style Libre (a blood glucose reader) on my under arm.
The Libre thingie reads my BG for 2 weeks.
During that time, I poked my finger 7 times a day
and kept a food journal.
Then when 2 weeks charting was up, I had the libre removed
and met with my DR.
She read all my numbers, my A1C estimate and food journal.
Evidently, I am NOT Type 2 diabetic.
***
I had been on a chemo pill for 5 years and just stopped taking it in December.
The weight gain and side effects from the Cancer meds…played a huge part
in my misdiagnosis.
Sooo, sweet readers. I am cancer free, not a diabetic
and as of today I have lost 28 pounds.
I am not on any meds and call myself ORGANIC.
I am working very hard to get healthier and stay healthy.
But I wanted to share that my health is my responsibility.
Along with being organic, I am empowered.
When I get down to my fighting weight, I will get my rings re-sized.
Love you
Me
