On February 22 I was diagnosed with DB2, and on that date I have had several changes.I got the metformin of 500 tomorrow and 500 at night 1000 tomorrow and 750 at night.In addition, he had been exercising for 2 months (walking 45 minutes daily) - sometimes I run something or jog, without failing.I have also changed my diet for good, I take much more water, etc.

I worry that I was 166 glucose on an empty stomach and now after 2 months of change, it has lowered me, but not so much.A fast gives me 127 to 132. The glucosilada in 2 months (I know you have to wait 3) lowered me from 9 to 7.4

I have an appointment on April 22 (next Thursday) but I am afraid that the doctor scolds me because I suspect that with medications, food and exercise changes, I should be better.

I don't want to discourage.Something that encourages me is that I had high triglycerides (226) and high uric acid (7.1) and now I have them perfect (triglycerides must be less than 150 and I have 112, uric acid must be less than 7 and now I have 4.7), also the cardiovascular risk (atherogenic index) of 5 lowered me to 1.8 and the cholesterol that must be in less than 200 (I had it in 160) now I have it in 65. So the effort has served something, but in theglucose maybe I am short: '(

Let's see what the doctor tells me on Thursday.

You have improved many things in two months.It is clear that you are doing well, but in two months you can't change everything.
With all that you have improved, if glucose does not go sufficiently the same is the treatment failure, which is not correct at all.You can't tell you anything the endocrine with those improvements.
Congratulations and keep it up.

hello.Well, the truth went quite well with the doctor.He shared many praise and likes the results that I have so far.

The uric acid that had it elevated and that is a risk to the kidney (above 7) I already have perfect, in 4.7.He told me that the medicine already suspended it in 30 days.

The HDL does not rise from me 33, he told me not to worry, that he would practically have to have an Eskimo diet based on Omega3 pure to upload it.

In my particular case, the most important thing is the LDL that should normally be below 100, but because of the hereditary, overweight, hypertension etcAnd now 10. I already have a very well product of the medication, change of eating habits and especially exercise (walking 1 hour daily).The medicine lowered me in half.

He met for 3 months

From the glucose he told me that it is going very well, from fasting 166 I went to 127 and 132. But the glucosilada in just two months went from 9 to 7.4, which told me that it is perfect, that this speaks of good figures around the day, that my control figures would be between 7 and 8.

Metformin on the night of 750 raised it to 1000. So I am with 1000 in the morning and 1000 at night, what I do not understand is that it says that it is a small dose, it is something that I am going to ask, toI get super high.He told me that with this and the good results that I am having, surely on an empty stomach I will reach less than 126 without a risk of a hypo.

From the exercise he told me that Super important, that I should not pass the cardiac pulse of 112, so I recommended to buy a sensor for my exercises.I am walking daily (7 days a week) 3 to 4 km, 45min one hour.Before I trot a little but when the pulse jogs me to 120 and therefore, now I have to go down, to stay in the safe range (less than 112).For something he will tell me, and to risk.It is better to go slow but sure.

The electrocardiogram was perfect.

The 155/90 blood pressure that I was now bringing it in 130/72 and 128/75, has greatly improved

perfect triglyceride, it must be less than 150 ... I had in February 220 and now 116

The heart rate was at 90 to 95 at rest, now 78 to 81.

In addition, I have dropped 5 kilos in 2 months (2.5kg per month), which is excellent

And then I go!

Very good news!

Walking is great.Fat burning and is very healthy.What I don't understand at all is the cardiac pulsations.You should not go from 112!?.Do you have a very serious heart problem?But well if the doctor recommended it would be for something but it is a curious figure, 112!I don't know how that figure has calculated, the doctor, really.

All the best

GREETING

Thank you very much for your comments.

Hello.My doctor is in fact a great cardiologist.He serves me since 2007, he already knows me about years.With the pandemic I had a decay in Sanguinea chemistry and other health issues.One of them is that I have inflamed the endothelium that is the inner layer of the arteries and also had the high triglycerides.These issues (coupled with others) made the doctor make an adjustment in my aggressive treatment to improve all these values.In a progress from 0 to 100, I am already 60%, he said that my response to medicines and improvement for food and exercises are exceptional.

But I remain a risk person (diabetic, hypertensive, hereditary history, overweight) and therefore must keep the LDL below 55, triglyceride at bay and maintain exercise, but within a safety range.

He has a table specified by the cardiac pulse at rest and max (physical activity) for healthy people and for patients with different levels of risk, which is also based on age.

He made me the calculation and told me that for now a maximum of 112 of pulse ... already in the other event I suppose will allow me more.

This is really complicated for me, because I liked to walk 100m and jog 50, then walk 100 and jog another 50 until I reached 3 or 4km but yesterday I realized that when I walk quickly, my pulse is 105 ... andWhen you trot, it reaches 120 ... so I will not be able to jog for now.

@Pares lie but each specialist doctor only thinks about theirs, 120 or more you have when you climb some stairs, now you go and tell the endocrine that they have told you that you cannot climb stairs, those pulsations or more you achieve them when your favorite teamHe puts a goal.

There is a saying: where the pattern commands does not send a sailor.If your doctor is a cardiologist, nothing to discuss.Follow your advice.And very good chart.Very educational.
It is clear that you are on the right track and soon it will let you upload those pulsations.At least 120-140 in the most fat zone burns.I imagine that what worries is that you are a long time with high pulsations.But you follow your advice.

thank you.I believe that he is not interested in the burning of fats but in achieving cardiovascular improvement, that we are achieving it.Of course, the exercise, good food has helped me lose weight, which is an important factor, but he prefers to go under control to avoid "a scare."

My cardiologist arrived recommended by a client of the company where I worked.I saw another cardiologist and I was not going very well there in 2007. I changed 2 times and I told a co -worker and told me about this cardiologist (who saved his life, literal).When I visited it, it sent me to do a tremendous studies battery (which I initially did not understand) and it was delayed by reviewing my electro for a long time, doing calculations and seeing things that other cardiologists had not seen, explained why the medication (forthe blood pressure) of others did not work, because they were sending medications to lower the pressure without knowing the cause by which it rose.It is always appropriate to look for the cause of why the pressure is high and based on that, send treatment.At that time I realized that it was a good cardiologist.Additionally, I like to read medicine and always asked about new treatments and slightly advanced issues that I found on the Internet in the last conferences and global events ... and Oh!what is my surprise that I knew how to respond to everything perfectly!Then I learned that he was a pioneer of an advanced Cardiology Research Center, in addition to having other special credentials.

He carries the diabetes of many patients, because there is a relationship in DB2 diabetes with obesity and other problems such as insulin resistance, fatty liver, etc.I think he knows a lot from the endocrine system because he was director of cardiology of an important governing hospital (the largest here in MX) and all the time saw diabetic patients.

Since 2007 to date it is 14 years that I know and we have developed a certain "friendship" and above all, trust.Here in Mexico people are very hot and form a bond of friendship that may look weird in other countries.This is the Latinos.

Additional, I have learned to have confidence for a particular history of the family where he anticipated a family tragedy if a father's health issue was not attended in time.And it was as is, the doctors of Cuba ignored my cardiologist, he did not give due importance and my father died just because of that problem.What had not seen dozens of doctors in Cuba in 10 years, my doctor saw him in a single visit and anticipated the problem that caused my father's death.

We have already seen the improvements, I have dropped 5, almost 6 kg in 2 months and we have achieved figures of ideal lipids.He already eliminated me 1 medicine and lowered the dose of another.I think he does not want to take risks for my health, and because I am the father of two young children (daughter 3 years, son 5 years).As he says, he wants me to live many years and with good health.I am sure that moderate exercise will help me.I have gone from doing nothing at all, walking 45min at 1 hour daily and the results are already seen.Surely, in the future he will change for good.We expect that.

I appreciate your comment.

Oh Alberto, what grace you have ... 😂😂😂😂 (I assume myself with what almost misfortune me ...).Well, the other day I saw her on a birthday and insisted again for me to take away the insulin ... 😰.
I have the endo on Wednesday, they already did the analytics this week, to see what they tell me.

Regarding the pulsations, I don't understand that much, but I have a friend to I have placed three stend and always says that it should not climb slope walking, which is dangerous for him.I thought it was a vague, but after what Matrix says he may have some explanation ...
