Text from Patient - October

Hi Lois!  Just wanted to share with you my good news: I reached my goal of a steady 100 lbs.  I also tested negative on my 2nd SIBO test recently.  I can eat a lot more foods so needless to say I am thrilled.. I look so much better and feel better.  Still on the path of gaining more weigh, but now I can take a breather and ejoy the ride!  Hope all is well with you.

Lois response: That is fantastic!  so glad for you  It was a long road but you did it!!

Patient response:

Thank you! You were an integral part of my healing.  You taught me a lot and I really appreciate it.  So thank you so much!!!

Because of you (and some other supplements) I was able to get my LDL lower and total cholesterol without meds.  I needed to work harder to get it below the recommended levels.

Cool!!!

 

I had my three month blood work and visit with endocrinologist last week and i did fabulously!

I've lost a total of 27 pounds since July 17th.  My daily average BG is below 100.  And my A1C is 5!!!! down from 13 at time of diagnosis in

July.

My cholesterol is 100!  Will give me another three months on diet and if cholesterol doesn't go down more, she'll put me on statin at that time but since it's substantially lower ,she wants to give me more time.  She took me off metformin the stomach issues were unbearable.  She increased dosage of Trulicity.  She feels that I don't need the metformin if I stick to diet.

She was very happy with my progress!.  So am I!

 Talk soon.

Hi Lois, The good news is that I lost  another 2 pounds since we last met and the endocrinologist who I saw for the first time last week said my Blood Sugar Levels came down tremendously due to diet NOT metformin since my GP only had me on 500 mg once a day which in essence was doing nothing to low my blood sugar.  So she gave me credit for making those lifestyole changes and eating habit changes which I shared with you!! Thank you!!!!

Thank you.

Good Morning Lois - I wanted to wish you and your family a very happy Thanksgiving.  I am so thankful for all of the wonderful strategies that you taught to me in managing diabetes.  I continue to lose weight (151 lbs. now).  My recent doctor visit was very good - A1C down to 6.4 from 8.4, cholesterol is in normal range and cardiac enzymes vastly improved with a 240 point decrease in the triglycerides.  Thank you again for all of your guidance, your really helped me so much.

Warmest Regards

Good morning, Lois.  I wanted to let you know about my Mom's wonderful progress.  Since our visit with you back in April, I think, my Mom has been following a healthy, balanced food plan and as a result, her Doctor has taken her off the medication, she has lost weight and is more alert.  Her ankles now look like the slender ones I remember her having many years ago.  At 91. she attends a daily social program and is walking out of doors weather permitting.  Your gentle, kind professional advice was a life changer for Mom.   Thanks again for your guidance.  The best to you and your family in the New Year!

Hi Lois--

I figure that anyone can feel good about causing a success story.. so when I came to you in April, my a1c was 7.6. 

Then it went on to:

5/17--6.5

8/17-- 6.0

And today it is 5.4!!!!

thank you for your help.

Ok Lois. I'm brainwashed!  Got hungry for lunch and wanted to try Shake Shack in 110. Reading menu from right left and checking calories and opted for single hamburger at 385 with lettuce, tomato and pickles.  Really wanted cheeseburger, fries and shake but OPTED out.

Had a good laugh with my single burger and tap water.

Hi Lois,

 

I just realized my appointment is this Tuesday at 5:00pm and it’s Election Day. I didn’t vote early and I’m working all day Tuesday so I’ll need to go vote after work. Let’s cancel for now and I’ll get back to you with some dates I’m available. 

I had my three month blood work and visit with endocrinologist last week and I did fabulously!

I’ve lost a total of 27 pounds since July 17th. My daily average BG is below 100. And my A1C is 5!!!! Down from 13 at time of diagnosis in July.

 

My cholesterol is 100! Dr. Will give me another three months on diet and if cholesterol doesn’t go down more, she’ll put me on statin at that time. But since it’s down substantially she wants to give me some more time. She took me off metformin the stomach issues were unbearable. She increased dosage of Trulicity. She feels I don’t need the metformin if I stick to diet.

She was very happy with my progress! So am I.

 

 

Because of you (and some other supplements) I was able to get my ldl lower and total cholesterol without meds. I need to work harder to get it below the recommended levels.
