An LC miracle? Maybe!
On 9 Jan 04 I started a total diet/excercise program. I was 39, 5'8",
307 lbs. I had insulin dependant type II diabetes and was taking 540 units of insulin plus 2000 mg of Glucophage per day. My blood pressure was out of control. My good cholesterol was 18, my bad was 310. My tryglicerides sp were 1495. I wore size 48 jeans. My HBa1C was 9.8 Plus, to make things worse, I had been diagnosed with Steato Hepatitis and all my liver biopsies and enzyme tests indicated I was quickly heading to liver failure. Now, after 9 months of low carb/cal/fat/salt and lots of bike riding (42 miles yesterday, 22 today), My blood pressure is perfect, my good cholesterol is up to 61 and bad is down to 174. Trygs are normal. I've not had one bit of diabetes meds or insulin in 9 months. My latest HBa1C (8/16) was 4.8. I've lost 110 lbs and now use size 34 jeans. Today, I got the real stunner - I got back my latest liver function test results (AST & ALT enzyme). Completely NORMAL!!!!!! Not only normal but right in the middle of the normal range! My hepatitis has gone from life threatining to FINE? All I've done is cut my carbs to 30/day, cut fat & sodium, gotten 1-2 hours of excercise per day and taken flax seed, fish oil and niacin OTC supplements plus perscription Inderal LA (for BP). Can this really be happening? My doc was stunned, too - he wants to order my 5th liver biopsy to confirm the lab results. I dunno - those things hurt bad! I guess I'll think about it..... Ken |
