Went to doctor. Had blood work done. Showed that I had high blood sugar. Doctor did an in-house A1C test and result was 14, which is off the charts.
I bought a tester where you prick finger and apply blood to test strip, and get a read out. My levels are alarming, and have me worried.
Results are: 256 | 241 | 221 | 261 | 384 | 264 | 394 (Damn it man seem like I'd be dead at these levels)
I did not dream that I might be diabetic so I know nothing about how to deal with this. I do understand that my levels are dangerously high, but I don't even know what that means.
Anyone have these kind of issue. What are you doing to deal with it.
P.S. I suspect this has been going on for a while and I just did not recognize symptoms, until I finally realized I was losing a lot of weight. I was 6'3 221 prior Dr. visit, now last visit I'm 194 lbs. Always been healthy.
DrBoz specializes in healing people with diabetes through diet. when patients are motivated and follow her advice, they have very compelling testimonies and recovery. you might want to meet with her and have her get you a CGM. that way you can get good feedback on your progress. once you get into a good keto state you have to pretty much stay there for the rest of your life, but its pretty easy to do.
I may do that. I like her. Anyone wiling to rack up 12 felonies for pushing back against medical cabal is probably a good honest person.
On the CFM, my brother told me he has one of them. No complaints with its working but he said the module that you put on you arm, that sends signal to phone app only last for around two weeks. Then it has to be replaced at a cost of around $70. $140 per month was more than he wanted to spend when he could do same think, albeit it less often with the lancet strips.
