DR. NASTY DAY

Well, I bit the proverbial bullet, hauled ass down to the doctor's office by 8 this morning and made an appointment for twelve noon.  I am NOT going to talk to him.  He would have a conniption  fit if he knew what I was doing.  To his credit pretty much any gp would.  But unless he apologizes to me for his behaviour last visit, and that aint likely to happen, I am not going to talk to him except for what is absolutely necessary.

What I am doing right now, after a huge huge amount of research on reversing type 2 diabetes, is fasting.  I am on day three.  I am following a world renowned diabetes doctor's plan.  He has cured many people of type 2.  But it is definitely not for the faint hearted.  Its called intermittant fasting.  What really pisses me off though is how much bullshit we have been fed over the years...about salt, about eating every two hours, about 'must' have breakfast, about type 11 not being curable, and so on.

So after reading it all I see my real goal is not weight loss but reversing the condition of my fatty liver.  And that means no sugar in any form (including too much protein) until my liver stops throwing out uncontrollable amounts of sugars into the blood and body.  I am really tempted to tell the doctor what I am doing, just to watch him have a fit.  And this is a way of eating that I will probably have to do to some extent for the rest of my life.  The intermittant  fasting part will stop but the no carbing won't.  So interesting...at least to me.

Sue came over this morning and installed my lights.  They look fantastic!!!  I had Monte stay and help her out.  He is so tall and he proved invaluable.  She was pretty pleased with his help.  She is coming back tomorrow morning to finish the fridge.

Now I must be off.  I will report back here this afternoon on how it went!!!  See ya soon.

Well shut my mouth!!!  He was super super nice and full of little antidotes and stories.  He must have either felt bad or was having a much better day.  The first thing he did was ask my blood sugar.  When I told him it was in the fours he was astounded!  Haha...then...I told him what I was doing...fasting and low carbing...and thats when he got all talky!  He totally agreed with Dr. Fung's methods and completely supported what I was doing!  He was telling me how so many of his patients don't do anything about their diabetes and don't care and how hard and frustrating it is to try to get them to understand.  And when he turned on his computer he told me how last Thursday he had four patients whose birthday was Oct. 21st, which is crazy cuz I have never met anyone in my whole life with the same birthday as me.  Then after a few minutes of friendly chit chat, he took my blood pressure...and it was 140 over 78!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Finally!!!!!!!  We were both jumping up and down happy!!!

I was watching one of those messy house and lets get organized shows on tv.  I like to watch and feel all  superior and smug.  The last one I watched the lady of the house had stacks and stacks of paper...bills, emails, letters, junk mail, important stuff mixed with crap.  STACKS of it!!  So the hosty person was giving her shit and I'm sitting here shaking my head when it dawned on me that I was actually no better!  Looking for something this morning, I got a box and emptied my junk drawer under the microwave...and filled that box to the top with paper.  And my lovely purple dresser in purple room, the one with the really huge drawers, is full to the brim with papers.  I have at least two years worth of mail, including mail from Maui, stacked in there.  And I know of two boxes of papers in my cupboard.  So guess what I am going to do on Wednesday?  I am going to do what Spod used to do and drove me crazy....I am going to put leaves in the dining room table and do a clear out of paper once and for all.  I am kind of dreading it.  I am sure I will find 'hide your head in the sand' stuff and I won't like it.  I will take pictures.  I will 'document' it...haha...no pun intended!  TTYL
