This blog is dedicated to life of renewed health regained in less than 45 days and completely renewed health a year later. A year ago in November I was diagnosed a Type I Diabetic by a young doctor. I was placed on a progressive dose of insulin to begin recovery. I had lost 48 pounds in weight in less than 30 days, despite eating like a horse. I was drinking Dr. Pepper by the six pack and water by the quart container. I was unable to always control my bladder. I was loosing the capability for sex. I had changed the strength of my reading classes twice. I was unable to sleep through the night. I had the stride of an eighty year old man on his last legs (I had been a life time jogger and bicycle rider). I enjoyed many more of those complications of a diabetic. I also had been dealing with all those wonder pills to cope with acid reflex disease.
Today I am a 58 year old man who has renewed his health. A year ago my glucose levels, measured twice daily, were off scale (more than 600). Today my glucose levels, again measured twice daily, are 110 - 115 in the morning and the 80 - 85 in the late afternoon. I take a Metformin once a day (500 mg) to control my glucose levels along with a much better diet plan as a Type II diabetic. My goal is to make small changes to my every day eating habits and life style to eliminate the once a day pill for an improved positive focus and small changes to my life style. I believe that it is simple and loosing 20 more pounds. Although I will need better discipline to loose those 20 pounds. This is the counsel of my mature, diabetic wise family doctor.
I have been told my renewed health today is fantastic. I realize I will be diabetic for the rest of my life. However, by accepting my condition and changing my life style to manage life as a diabetic, in many ways I am healthier today than I have been in years. I have shared with friends who are struggling to understand and cope with life as a diabetic. I dedicate this blog to helping you and my friends interested in managing life as a diabetic with common sense. I live a full active and rewarding life again. Now with a diabetic wake-up call, I live a healthier life style. My goal is to share with you, my friends, each those complications of diabetes I mentioned earlier that are now either reversed or under control. I follow the advice of my mature, diabetic wise family doctor along with the counsel of my naturalist friend who introduce me to diet supplements that I credit with the vast improvement in my daily health. I will share my Renewed Health Today experience with you each day or so.
