Finally some good news

As some may know, Ive made some major changes to my diet and life in general. Im on a GP Care Plan and was due for a review so when we organised bloods for the review I got them to do a more complete panel, like check vitamins, minerals, iron, as much as possible, mainly to make sure my new diet wasnt leaving me deficient in anything. Turns out it wasnt but it had also started to correct a whole heap of stuff.

My kidneys have improved, my liver has improved heaps, multiple enzymes out now just one. My blood pressure has reduced so much that they have reduced my blood pressure meds to get it up a little. Iron for the first time in years is back to good instead of anemic. My cholesterol is still a bit high but thats probably smoking and Im trying to quit that. My vitamin D is pretty low so Im going on suppliments for that, will be year round. Because of my pain and limitations I dont and cant spend much time out in the sun, so its not a huge suprise.

Biggest improvement in my physical health in years. It hasnt been simple making the change in my diet or my life in general. But when I got diagnosed with Diabetes a couple months ago I decided that I had to change, I wasnt going to end up losing a foot or a leg because I wouldnt change what I eating. I didnt get what I was doing so wrong, but I saw a nutritionist and I got my head around things, worked out what I was doing that wasnt helpful and set about putting together a better diet that Id enjoy and it actually worked out. I still have chips and iced coffee, not nearly as often or nearly as much but I enjoy my diet. Im still improving it, Im still finding better options etc. but I do enjoy what I eat. I enjoy losing weight and being healthier far more.
