I have been going to the doctor every month or two for blood work. Every time they take at least 6 tubes of blood. Mostly for thyroid and diabetes. My numbers are always in the 180 to 200 range. When I eat mostly raw fruits and vegetables then my numbers will go down into the 120's or 130's. The last drug I was put on was Metformin. My doctor said that I am insulin resistant. Well... I took it for about 1 month and finally I quit. It was keeping me up until 5 am in the morning and I couldn't see a change in my numbers. I also noticed everytime they took blood I would be very weak for at least a week. I got to thinking about it... if God wanted me to lose so much blood then he would have made me with a drain spout. So what do you think about losing so much blood?
6 tubes seems like a lot .... but it isnt that much. lots of people give pints on a regular basis... your body makes more right away.... just plan to have a snack right after they take the blood. Did you tell your doc that you quit the meds???
What I've eaten is here for the world to see
336.1 (8-1-07)/319.0 (12-28-07)/200 (goal for 12-31-08)/160 (goal)
Next mini goal is 290 by 1-31-08

No... I haven't told her and I missed my appointment this month too. I am going to give WW a try. Keep my sugar and fat to a minimum and check my blood sugar after a week. If I feel good then I am going to continue on and will tell her next time I see fit to go to the doctor.
I have a problem with doctors. In 1996 when I went to the doctor for phen-fen. The doctor assured me that it was safe. It was just replacing in fat people what normal people already had. I should have known if I had to go to a different state to get it then it was not safe. So now everytime the doctor gives me something new I research it to death and then maybe I try it or maybe I don't.
