Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's health
A few years back I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic - changing eating habits & slowly losing weight with the guidance of a dietician meant I could stop taking the tablets after a couple of tyears.
My favourite food group is deep fried yumminess - I'm not a sweet tooth tho I was 20 years ago when I was told my tiredness & lack of concentration was due to hyperglycemia (spelling?) & I had been trying to keep awake by eating sweet stuff the way chain smokers consume tobacco. I had no trouble getting off the sweeties when I saw just what I could eat (glass, or in this case, plate, half full not half empty.) Tho I did tend to over-consume the savoury stuff!
Which is why I eventually got to 89kg (2.2 pounds per kg for those who need to convert) & pre-diabetic. 15 kg later I still eat inappropriately at times, but I can live comfortably with the foods that are good for me.
Now I have my thyroid specialist saying cutting my throat to remove my badly-behaved thyroid is a possibility! And if it is cancerous, it's the best (sounds familiar?) cancer to have cos it can all be removed & I just pop a tablet daily ... So I really must call her to get the latest biopsy result.
