When I started this process on December 28, 2023, I was taking three different drugs to fight diabetes, so with the combination of the meds and the drastic changes in my way of eating, my glucose numbers collapsed. However, there is no medication this time. I stopped taking them over a month ago. These numbers are mine; I am using 100 percent nutrition to fight diabetes. 

I must admit that my stress level has increased; I am working hard on my master’s. In addition, I am in the middle of doing many Counselor Reports. I must meet with folks one-on-one. My Saturdays and Sundays are busy working on these reports. I am also halfway through a Christian Life Coach Certification. I was recently promoted to my job, adding stress to my life. I also noticed that my exercise routine had been affected; I must return to increasing my physical activity; it is an excellent way to distress. 

With all the ups and downs, struggles, mistakes, experiments, and stress, I am moving in the right direction.  The AIC Blood Test gives you the last three months’ glucose average. The normal number is 6.5 or less. My average AIC was 12 when I was diagnosed with diabetes nine years ago. About six months ago, I was at 10.9. I am happy to report that after embracing a Carnivore / Keto lifestyle since 12/28/2022, my A1C is 6.1. Praise the Living God!

The journey continues…
