My Journey....to get rid of DIABETES.

In January 2017 I noticed some serious changes in my health, literally one week I was fine then the next I felt extremely tired, an unquentable thirst had overcome me and the most alarming thing...My vision started to go. I wasn't blind, but I couldn't see. Everything was very blurry.
I had a hunch what was the cause. I made a doctors appointment but couldn't get in for 3 weeks. About a week before my appt. I was in STL. I used my father's glucose meter. My morning fasting blood sugar level was 395

Low carb diets are strongly recommended by the medical community for Diabetics.

Eeeeek. I had to convert that from American to mmol/L.
