Some of the questions I had when I read your Comment #3 are now answered. Your health seems to be moving in the right direction, but without your height it is a little hard to know what the ideal weight should be. They very low carb Atkins type diet may eliminate your diabetes completely. I know people who have done this. Vitamin C taken 4 times a day may help your COPD. I think I would have developed Asthma if I had not storted the level I have taken of C for 50+ years. I hope you will be able to eliminate a number of your medications as you continue to eat well and loose weight. Keep up the good work.
I’m 5’10” 160lbs. (I don’t think I can live wo/carbs!) Heh.
