Making Progress...

I guess this has become a "Conquer Diabetes and Hypothyroidism" blog.  I guess that's because it's what I'm dealing with and having to go "rogue" to beat.
I bought KetoStix and found that I have indeed gotten into Ketosis.  I think I've been there for about 1 1/2 to 2 weeks.  Interestingly I have lost 3.5 pounds!
That doesn't seem like a lot at all but where I have not had any weight loss in MONTHS, this is a huge loss and in a short period of time.

Its VERY worth mentioning that my average blood sugars are down 15 points to 130.
I still have Dawn Phenom...but it's getting lower.
If I didn't have Dawn Phenom, my average would be a lot lower.

I have added Cod Liver Oil to my list of supplements.  My Doctor finally got back to me about my not wanting to take the medicine she gave me for triglycerides.  She said we would review it in December but that I should take a dose of fish oil between now and then.

My goal is to bring all my cholesterol markers into alignment before my appointment.

Also noteworthy, my complexion is greatly improved.

I also find that I'm eating much smaller portions and often skipping meals.  Just not hungry.

I had some bullet-proof coffee today and used a really good quality coconut oil and it actually made my coffee delicious.  I also use heavy cream and Sweet Drops in my coffee, so it really seemed like an indulgence.  Didn't need to eat breakfast because of it.
