The Journal of My War With Diabetes Begins

At this time, I am not taking medications,  My blood sugars appear to be within pre diabetic levels, most of the time.  I take multiple suppliments to restore and maintain my health at appropriate levels to prevent medical problems.

Problems I see are: my left eye has a floater with flashes.  That seems to be growing less and less, as I get my blood sugar levels under control and work on keeping nutrition at appropriate levels and rest as well.

I have done some fasting, for spiritual purposes, without suffering any difficulty with my diabetes.  I don't feel highs and lows in blood sugar levels as medically symptomatic. 

My diet excludes gluten, processed sugars, and dairy products.  My meals are 2 to 3 times a day, when not fasting.

My most recent A1C was 7.2, and my lipids were only slightly raised, but individual levels were not where I want them to be. I have added Hawthorn and I think I will add garlic.  I am already on several forms of Omega 3s.

I began eliminating the drugs, back in July, and spoke with my physician about it, before I did.  I have lost around 10-15 pounds and can lose another 35, without being underweight for my size.

Physical activity is not where it should be, but my diet is strictly controlled. Exercise tends to shoot my blood sugar levels straight down.

I know my body will not go to hypoglycemic levels, without recovering itself by releasing triglycerides.  Also, my body can process sugars as nutrition as my weight goes both up and down.  It does have to process it more efficiently, however.

The faster I can bring glucose levels down and bring my weight down, while increasing physical activity and maintaining my nutritional levels and avoiding those foods that tend to cause diabetic problems.

I am looking forward to complete healing through my efforts with God's blessing and protection and His healing grace to repair those things that modern medicine and all my own efforts cannot repair.

I love you Lord Jesus Christ, and thank you for all your work in me so far.  Without your help, I would not have the self control to accomplish the self control this process of reversing and repairing from diabetes requires.
