Home A1c test 6.3 and holding.
I lost 30 pounds and .7 A1c score after 2 yrs of the Keto diet.

If only exercise and an active lifestyle made me feel as good as eating food that is bad for me.

Once I fixed my diet, I now have no desire for eating bad stuff. I've only experienced it a few times in the last few years, but headache and joint aches are not worth it! I do still have times where I'd like to eat quantities larger than I should, but not garbage that I should never eat.

Bad food might feel good on the tongue, but illness results after.
Exercise might be tough while it's occurring, but the feeling after is the best.

Bingo!

very happy to see my AIC drop, if only to 6.0 from 6.1
I came home from yesterday's lab draws and promptly ate a dark chocolate Easter bunny...
locally made, I bit those chocolate ears off with a smile. I never eat this stuff, it's giveaway candy I buy for
family relatives young.

glucose still high at 109.
pretty sure that's the pineapple juice I've been drinking and chopped fresh fruit eaten.
none that morning of course but every day before then. I'm testing pineapple juice on my arthritis
for a month to see if any difference. Unfortunately it comes with all that sugar.
drinking one 6 oz can a day, mixed in with flavored seltzer or some other juice to dilute it,
is only way I can be consistent. I never normally drink fruit juice, so this is a change for me.
not organized enough to try to eat fresh pineapple every day and the ease of this enables my trying it.

I like to mix things with unsweetened cranberry juice. You have to dilute that too, so might as well
mix together, sour and sweet. Think a few swallows of fresh water after that might be good for the teeth though.
that can be a lot of acid going down the pipes...

I'm taking a joint supplement for arthritis. Glucosamine with Chondroitin
Been a yr and it seems to work. I was having a lot of trouble with my neck, painful and limited head turning. Made it hard to drive and working the tractor with anything on the 3 pt was almost impossible. Now that's much better, only occasional hand flare ups. I attribute it to this and the Vitamin D supplement but that's another post
