I was diagnosed with Diabetes when I went into the Hospital in June of 2019. I did not believe that I had that at all. I could not get my head wrapped around that because I did not have any of the warning signs of that disease. So I started on a research into the disease.
I never had the sugar level or the High Blood Pressure prior to having that really bad headache. It just did not make sense to me and still doesn't to a point.
I am an emotional eater and the last two years have been hell for me when we were dealing with Wells Fargo. Very stressful. Finally we were released from that stressful company the day after I went into the hospital and I do but much of the blame on them for causing the high stress levels, high blood pressure and the sugar to go sky high.Now I am expecting my body to go normal in about a year. Another things that happened was my husband lost his high paying job because of downsizing 2 years ago, when we were going through the Wells Fargo stuff. We had an ARM and that was fine then they changed their system about 5 years ago and I understood that interest would go up every 6 months, but what they were doing was upping it every month no matter what I paid them, it was never enough. I got all the 7 am calls asking me when they were getting paid and most of the time it was a week or more before the bill was even due! Yes calling them was very stressful and my husband could not take some of that stress off of me because he didn't have the time and could not longer get calls at his work. So he would bring home candy bars and of course I would eat them. Stress reduction for me but didn't realize the damage they were dong on top of the emotional stress. I started eating crunchy stuff because I had to do it and chips and all that came into play with my eating. It was horrible and cold not get out of it. That GOD I am not doing that anymore! Normally I don't eat junk food and need crunchy stuff to sooth me and I never drank lots of anything,. Which is weird because now with some of the supplements and their drugs that I was on I have to make myself drink lots. I am just not thirsty that much. This another reason I don't believe I have Diabetes. I eat lots of salads too during the summer when I grow the lettuce and vegetable myself. I love salads. Junk food or going out to eat was only twice a month when we went shopping for groceries and food for the animals, mostly for our cats. That was our treat. I am not a big plate eater. You beginning to see why I don't believe and are confused. What I have noticed is that my Rosacea is much worse now.
I know that I had Pancreatitis in 1996 before arranging my wedding. He was there, but I was told by that doctor that I was an alcoholic, which I was not on account of my Ulcerative Colitis.
I did have some blurry vision and though that it was my Optic Nerve Pit and I was not diagnosed with Diabetes then either, not even close. I was born with it and it didn't really start bothering me until I hit 50 years old. Still not diagnosed with the Diabetes then either.Most glasses that they gave me didn't really do justice to my long visions and I ended up just getting reading glasses. No Diabetes when I was in my early 40's.
You see in the pit it looks more like a hole and wondering how that was affecting me. At the Eye Doctor they did show me wear I could and could not see on another picture that I don't have. That was lots of my vision in my left eye and does and did affect my eyesight. They did laser treatments and I will discus that in my next post.
I had to have an operation due to a hernia when I lifted a cinder block and I felt it rip. Oh it did not hurt but felt something go loose in my gut. Got all the tests to have that done and still no Diabetes reported. Now I did have a blood clot in my 30's and so I took my sock and wore it to my operation that took 3 hours. He did tell me that it may happen again and so I did not lift anything for one year, when it opened up yet again. Exactly one year to the day! Got the test them as well in my 50's and still not signs of Diabetes. This was only about 5 years ago. That Hernia one lasted 5 hours and they had to take out my belly button. Hence fat stomach.
This is why I can't get my head around that I have it now. Read that experience and the data that I got on some things that will surprise you: My Stroke At 62
What showed up was the headache that was a bleeding one and it really messed up my vision. I just got two Laser treatments. They weren't to right my eyesight but to prevent more damage from they said my Diabetes!
I also went to a dietitian and she told me about a diet that I should be on, and so I have been trying to be on that diet. Then I went to a Dietitian and got more meds, which I think are poison. I did not want to be on meds as I am more into supplements and natural thing gs. Then I did lots of research on those and found some very interesting things about that and them and am taking them instead of the meds for High Blood Pressure, High Cholesterol and sugar. I told my dietitian about what I am going to take and have taken for the last month and it helps lots in keeping my signs that I now have with the HP and Sugar. We have a problem with the Glucometer that we have and told her that it just will not work in our house. She doesn't believe us. I don't believe it either but it works anywhere not here. She is going to try it at her office next visit, but it will work there and not show her that it will not work where I live. She she will think that I am telling a story. My mom believes me and told her nurses and me that it will not work where I live because of the mountain. It has nothing to do with electricity, I don't know what is it.
I have started a exercise program and my dieting and all that with lots of information gained in the last few months.
Anoth thing they don't know that I used on a daily basis that does cause High Blood Pressure is a Water Sotener that uses Salt.
Water Softener and a Raise in Blood PressureIn areas with very hard water, the softened water coming from your tap can actually add a significant amount of sodium to your diet. The harder the water, the more sodium the softening system must add to replace the dissolved calcium and magnesium.Apr 29, 2019

I was also diagnosed with High Cholesterol. Now I have found lots of different Cholesterol there is and so I was eating Peanut butter top be on the Zero Carb diet and found that it is very high in Cholesterol. Now I am confused and they wonder why. Eggs are supposed to be good now and so I bumped up my serving a few more times a week. Although I am allergic to them but I was told that I had to eat protein with my morning coffee. Eggs are now in the good cholesterol range and a few years they were very bad for you. So What!!!?? Here is a place where you can find out about that:
High Cholesterol Does NOT cause Heart Disease ( very controversial)
I also posted this on my FaceBook Group
What are You Eating and Your Health and got this respon to my question:
- "I just read this artilce and shared it tomty group and cannot say that I have these diseases but I am on High Cholesterol pills or was. The frist thing they say it is from is smoking. I have never smoked in my life and the second was a high fat diet. Not so sure on this one either. I don't do alot of frying and if I do it is with the diet stuff like Olive Oil, which I have found burns because it cannot handle the high heat of some things. Stress now that I have had more than enough in the last year and that has changed drasttically. I am 62 now and so I would be consiered elderly in their age ranges based on this article."......."Not everyones body uses cholesterol the same way, there is a genetic predisposition there to an extent . However , cholesterol, especially the LDL type , has gotten a bad rap for years as if it had no benefits or played no role in important functions , its the ratio between the HDL , LDL , VLDL that determines healthy / acceptable values .Its not only fatty deposits in the vessels that are responsible for cardiovascular disease , its inflammation , constriction of the vessels, trauma to the vessels ( by high b/p ) oxidative stress , etc..
- Sugar is a big culprit . Heart disease started increasing in frequency after the advent of refined sugar . .. then processed food , high fructose syrup and so on .. And heart disease is common in diabetics & one of the key effects of diabetes we try to prevent."
