I am so excited, and I can't hide it!!! I am on a high today!!! I went to a Health Fair and my cholesterol was 157 and blood sugar 97. I had to go to another booth and consult with an MD before they would give me an A1c test. He looked at my cholesterol and blood sugar numbers and said, "Your numbers are normal, why do you want an A1c? I told him, "Well, I had a heart attack in February and had two stents put in my heart artery and I had a stroke the year before. My A1c was 11.8 with the stroke and 11.6 with the heart attack. I did everything my doctor told me to, but I couldn't get my blood sugar under control with the insulin and I couldn't get out of bed, so 2 months ago I stopped taking my meds and I started eating raw food!" He looked at me and said, "Well, you haven't had 3 full months of change, but I'm real interested to see what your A1c is!" When my turn came up, he came over and stood there waiting for my test to be done.... The tech said 8.2... I said, "Wow, I didn't think it would be that good, yet! The doctor shook his head and said, "I didn't think it would be under 9!" He gave me his business card and said, "I'm really interested in seeing how this works for you."
I want to send the cholesterol test to my Cardiologist. He wanted me on a statin drug to lower my cholesterol, but I had an allergic reaction to it in the hospital. So, he gave me a script for another type, but I researched it and I didn't like the common side effects. When I started the Raw Vegan Diet, I researched nuts and found out they bring your cholesterol down and clean your arteries out without side effects! Well...It worked!!!
