Results of the dr visit are in.
A1C 5.2, WAS 6.3
Trigycerides 209, were 367
These are the main two for me. There was improvement across the board in the lab
results. What was amazing to me was after having probably 6 or 7 cups of coffee by
the time of the visit, my pulse rate was 62, lowest it has been since probably my 20's.
Immediately halving of the diabetes medicine, Metformin, along with the Inderal used to treat benign essential tremor. Seems there is less of me now, no need for the same dosage.
It was interesting how jaded the nurse was, basically giving me short shrift and not talkative and all business, but when she asked if anything else had happened and I casually mentioned losing 50+ pounds, she came alive. Checked her computer screen and turned around in her chair and then talked to me like a normal conversation. She got excited on hearing the news.
Dr Patel was just amazed, quizzing me on the diet, exercise, everything. He was particularly interested in my exercising after eating my main meal of the day, and the research I did on my own finding out that the exercise helps open the cells up to burn the sugar in the blood.
He was also very interested in the ebook and about what Amazon pays etc. I got a feeling that he is a writer and may be about to try to publish something.
All in all, it was a great doctor's visit and I was told to just keep on doing whatever I have been doing. Also the doctor said I should do some weight/resistance training, he highly recommended it.
I also showed both the nurse and the doctor photos of big meals that I have eaten and still lost weight, they were both amazed.
Ironically, even after this good news, I am still not motivated to finish the ebook which is awaiting a conclusion and a rewriting of the introduction. Part of me must still be waiting for another shoe to drop maybe. But I also have found out that the book really wrote itself so I will just wait till it happens. No hurry.
After all, looking around on the street, I won't lack for potential customers once it is ready to be published.
