John improved his diabetes and cardio vascular health on carnivore diet

 

I’m writing with excitement and gratitude in sharing my 30-day results from taking on the Carnivore Challenge.

 

As of December 31, 2019, I was a 60-year-old male, having been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes in 1998 (diabetes has run in my family for generations). Over the years, my symptoms escalated to include high blood pressure, metabolic syndrome, neuropathy, and heart arrhythmias. I ended up on six prescription medications, including long-acting and fast-acting insulin. My weight ballooned, I felt exhausted all the time, and I was advised to undergo two cardiac surgeries to correct arrhythmias including ablation surgery—all despite increasing dosages of medications.

 

I opted for the Carnivore Diet instead. 

 

As of January 31, 2020, I am aging backwards (please see photos below)! My weight has dropped from 237lbs to 213lbs. I am completely off fast-acting insulin (Novalog), which happened the first day of switching to the carnivore diet! I had been on 70 units per day. I have lowered my long-acting insulin (Tresiba) from 26 units a day down to 12 units, and the countdown continues. My blood glucose level is averaging 70-90mg/dL, whereas it had been in the 230-250mg/dL range. 

 

My cardiologist has taken me off Eliquis completely and cut the beta blocker dosage (Metoprolol) by a third. My blood pressure is also normalizing, and I am hopeful that they will be lowering the dosage of Losartan soon. The doctors have reversed their recommendations for heart surgeries based upon an echocardiogram stress test I just took. 

 

I have increased vitality, am exercising for the first time in years, and feel so much better. Best of all, I am no longer addicted to sugar!
