Update
I see I have left a lot of things hanging...not that anyone cares!!! LOL No one reads this but it is a good diary for me.
I had a hysterectomy on Feb. 19 of last year and it was successful with no complications and no need for chemo. Praise the Lord!!!
At the time of surgery my blood sugar was tested and found to be over 200. I was told to alert my PCP which I did and he immediately told me I was diabetic and put me on Metformin with warnings of all its complication. After 8 days of that I decided that there had to be a better way. I went to my knees first and asked the Lord for guidance about how I could treat this situation naturally and I quit the medicine. The doctor had prescribed a kit for testing my blood sugar each morning so I knew what was going on there.
With a little research I came across the Keto diet and intermittent fasting. Fasting has always been something that I didn't think I could ever do, hating the nausea that come with hunger. I really believe this was elevated with pregnancy and I continued to eat to keep from getting hungry from then on. Of course, menopause and the slowing of my metabolism did not help my situation and I piled on the pounds. When I went into the hospital I weighed 193. I had been horrified that I would go over 200.
I started, with the Lord's help my fast and fasted for 24 hours straight. I didn't know I could do that but I learned that a drink of water will calm the nausea and that has helped tremendously. I then began a regimen of eating my breakfast meal of 2 eggs and 2 pieces of bacon and water at noon. I then have another meal before 5 PM and eat nothing else until the next day at noon. I quit sugar, carbs which include potatoes, peas, carrots, pastas, bread. I drink only water. I rarely ever eat out for fast food.
Since February, I am down to 145 pounds and 2 dress sizes. I was doing exercise on a treadmill conveniently located right down the hall from my apartment but the last couple of months I have had an increase in my home work with the doctors office and just haven't had that much extra time. I really need to get back to that.
I just want to praise the Lord for guiding me this way. I am maintaining my blood sugar which is usually around 100, with diet, I would like to lose another 10 pounds at least though my goal was to be at a healthy weight and my doctor says this is a healthy weight for my age.
Miss Kitty is still with me! I didn't have to take any treatments so all that worry was for naught.

Last Sunday was a blessing as I was able to sing with two of my children. How I miss singing in a trio! Ryan preached both services and was a blessing. We miss them being in Mississippi but they are in a sweet church that treats them well.
God is good!!!
