When my doctor a few years ago wanted to put me on blood pressure meds, diabetes meds, and a statin, I walked out dumbfounded. I went on a keto diet and my blood was checked 5 weeks later. I had lost 27 lbs. My A1C went down to 5.0 from 5.7. Cholesterol was fine, and blood pressure was 140/90. Not the best but not warranting meds. I had started at 237 lbs.
Anyhow, I had a few ups and downs since then but today I weigh 192 lbs. No meds ever. Just a very low carb diet and plenty of walking.
