A really good run.

BP is 144/86 with a pulse of 63.  Which is fine, mostly.  Yes, that is after medication, and food, both consumed over two hours ago.  What I really liked?  Blood sugar.  That is 106?  Pretty good.  I haven't ever gotten to that low on anything, or off everything.  The lowest I ever saw it, with insulin, was 123... unless it crashed.  But I mean in the healthy range.

I wonder if blood sugar can crash off medication?  I guess I will find out.  All I am sure of, is if it goes below 80 I will have to sort that out.  Perhaps eating some carbs, of some sort.  Leafy greens, even corn if need be.  I'll just have to wait and see.  Still... rather amazed.  It has been dropping, give or take, about twenty points a day since I started testing, as I went full carnivore, about a week ago.  It was in the 230~240 range?  Or so.  All sort of rough, with some ups and some stronger downs, obviously.

Tomorrow's fasting numbers, and from then on, are more important.  Will it level out?  I just don't know.  Will I eat more tonight?  Doubtful.  Just... not... hungry.  Not quite nauseated though either, but I don't want to push it.

Still rough.  So very rough.  Painpills twice or three times a day.  Trying to avoid them, but... it's been rough.  Hoping it will be a short term thing.  Vision is give or take.  Standing can be difficult.  But, everything is slowly improving.  And, obviously, the numbers are good.

Let me see.  I went from 25 mg of carvedilol to 3.125 mg (twice a day), 10 mg amlodipine a day to none, 25 mg hydralazine (twice a day) to none, losartan from 100 mg a day to 50 mg, furosemide from 40 mg (twice a day, both in the morning) to 20 mg and may be dropping even that, and 10 MEQ of potassium chloride (twice a day, both in the morning) to one a single pill a day and if I stop with the water pill, that will be stopped as well.  Wow.

And, that doesn't include having quit two types of insulin (and refusing other types of diabetes medicines).  That was a LOT of medicine, and potent stuff.  The most potent, the carvedilol, was the roughest to take.  The rest of it, save maybe the waterpills (furosemide) were easy to take.  I'll let my doctor examine what I have done.  He may prefer some medicines on that I have off.  I'll allow him to... order them.  But not control the amount, if it pushes me into too low of a bp/pulse.  Still, I'll allow him to guide the descent out of medication.  I just did what... seems to work.  He may have reasons for this, and say, not that.  Though I won't take tiny bits of lots of medicine either.  It's either, or, not... all at lesser.  No!

Magic!  I can't believe just three to ten drops of a sweetener could make that much of a difference!  I have been carnivore, otherwise, for months now.  Just those drops.  Who could possibly have known, believed even, that quitting those would mean this much difference!  But I'll take it.  Keep on with it.

Well... it sure seems that way?  No, I don't understand it.  I'm still in the grave, but crawling out... again, again, again.  We'll see.
