SO I had a check up at my Drs today and she is THRILLED!!!
Actually she said that if they had a star patient award I would get it.... Sadly there was no such award so I couldn't show off to my kids!! HAHA
In fact she said that if I keep up the good numbers on the meter that in 1 month we can attempt to start cutting back on medication...
OMG a doctor who loves my low carb diet AND wants to keep me as med free as possible....I think I might have hit the jackpot here...
Also..... I've officially lost 21kgs( 44pounds)!!!!! How exciting.... Believe me I still have another 50kgs to lose but I'm on the way....
I cleared out my cupboard today as this low cab thing is a perm fixture in my life and NOT just a diet... My doctor made it very clear to me...that even if I get to come off all meds AND lose weight and my BGs behave....I will always have diabetes....I may always have insulin resistance....
I know that and I'm ok with that....
I'm so excited about the future.... I'm 36 years old and my body is getting stronger and healthier each day....
And if I really look after myself now, when I'm an old codger like Shanny (that is a joke!!!!) I'll be very healthy then too
