Recheck A1C

(Gary hoover) #1

I sent in message of getting diabetes from taking prednisone for bad lungs. My VA dr told me in December of 2018 my A1C was 8.4 and recommended a low carb diet. I read everything about keto and 1/3/19 started. In mean time they put me on medication for diabetes I was at 8.4.I hate pills and took them maybe a week. In 2.5 months they retested me and I dropped to 7.0,he was very happy to see how fast I dropped,I did not tell him I do not take his medicine. So fast forward I had blood drawn last week and today 6/17/19 he called with the results and I was at 5.8, again he was beside himself as I was also. He said I want to take you off medication and that’s when I told him I didn’t take it at all and total reason was keto. This is my story
