I am finally going down in weight again, so much so that I have had to lower my blood pressure medication (cut it in half) because I was getting a couple of really low readings that were leading to mild hypotension. So, I am closer to my ideal goal now. If I actually get down to 145 lb (at 5'7" height, 72 years old, and diabetic), who knows? Maybe I will eventually be able to get off my cholesterol and blood pressure medications altogether, AND PERHAPS EVEN EVENTUALLY diabetes medications like metformin and insulin. Could ultimate weight loss and body weight/Diet management be the ultimate cure for diabetes? Stay tuned, Diet and Diabetes begone fans! This diabetic is shooting for a longer life UNcomplicated by diabetes (My Dad died at 60 of an MI COMPLICATED by diabetes--and now I am 12.5 years beyond that-- "Is the the Promised End?"--said by King Lear at the end of Shakespeare's play by the same name).
