No Medications

Following my recent (well 3 months ago) blood checks, my cholesterol had dropped to 3.6 – I have never known it to be this low… Today I had to pop along to the GP to get a couple of referrals and have a chat about my progress. Not putting to finer point on it, he was (very) pleased by my progress to date… He knew it would be good for me, otherwise why would he have given me a referral; but he like myself, didn’t expect the results as quickly as they have been. Over 40kg in 12 months, makes it about a kilo a week I have lost… It’s slowed down now, although I am back to my pre-trip weight at 92 ½ KG’s

We got onto the subject of my cholesterol medication, which ran out about a month ago, and he agreed it was worth seeing how I go without it. My next blood test is Early July so it will be very interesting to see if I can stay off it.

As I said at the beginning of all this, as long as I can come of the Diabex and reverse my insulin resistance I’ll be happy.

My GP took me of Diabex in August 09 and my last blood test confirmed that my insulin resistance had gone; but with a family history of Cholesterol, never in my wildest dreams did I think that mine would go down to 3.6 – OK that’s been with both the weight loss and Crestor – but the proof will now really be to see how far it can stay down (and there is no doubting without the Crestor it will rise, but to what point; it will be very interesting.
