I skipped out on working out tonight after work.
I don't have good excuses but I feel like I worked out 4 days straight which is better then I have ever done. So I am aloud to skip a day.
I was tired, cranky, worried over a friend, and had a huge headache... Also by my calculations I believe TOM is on his way.
On a good note, I went to the doctor's today here's my report.
- before loosing weight I was on two types of blood pressure meds. One "water" pill & 10mg pill.
- After loosing 100 lbs I was able to drop to 1 "water" pill & 5 mg pill.
-Today I was cut down to only my "water" pill !!!!!!!!!!!!
Also my blood test showed my sugar count to be really low. It has always been low but not this low.
She said that most people who are diagnosed Diabetic by the time it shows as high sugar count it's too late. It means there is no more insulin being produced.
Half of my pancreas was probably not working anymore and then other half was working double hard to pump some insulin in my body.
Now this is why my sugars have always been normal even has an obese woman.
Now my pancreas does not get it does not need to work as hard because I am smaller and eating healthier. This is why after fasting for the blood test, my sugar was super low.
Looking back she said I was probably pre-diabetic. I also have my father who is diabetic and that goes against me.
If I had not lost weight, I probably would have been diagnosed with diabetes. I actually teared up , for me it was like avoiding cancer.
See my father is super diabetic and in result of not looking after himself, has both legs cut off and some fingers gone as well. His vision is deteriorating. This to me is what I did not want to become.
I always thought I was safe because my blood test always showed my sugars to be good, and the doctor kept saying I was lucky.
Little did we know....I am so happy for the changes.
My doctor is super supportive and is extremely happy for me.
She said as a GP she rarely gets to take pills away or lower doses. In the world we live in , she said she normally gives speeches and then hikes up the meds because no one listens until it's too late.
She said she wishes she could bring me with her to show people it could be done. So sweet!!!
