Well done
Oldvatr done yourself proud there.
I disagree with this 65 cut off. That is out of order.
I did my frying experiment.
500g of 5% fat steak mince fried the added 2 cups of mixed gravy and 1/2 a bag of mixed veg.
Blood was 7.1 after. I'm pleased with that and have added the recipe to my meal menu
Having been through that experience, I agree with the cutoff being considered. It is obviously not a mandatory limit since I got past it, but it means that extra considerations apply. The op and its aftermath are very traumatic for the body, at a time when the atherosclerosis is rampant and there are probabable arterial branch blockages already reducing heart output. My consultant was dubious as to how much of my heart would 'light up'when they tried to start it again.
The body's ability to quickly repair itself and for wounds to heal after the op become more problematic as we age, and so there is increased risk of further harm being done leading to poor outcomes. On the shift I was part of, one poor soul passed on the table, one had a massive stroke, and the third contracted blood born MRSA virus from the op.
I seem to have survived well, and recovered to a good place very quickly, but my own journey was not without drama as most of my organs went on strike after the op and had to be coaxed back into function again. That is why they are twitchy about who gets the op. As a double stroke survivor myself, with 40% of my brain already fried and no longer working due to thrombosis in one of the two arterial supplies to the brain leaving me with only one blood supply that is partially furred up, I was extremely fearful of what my outcome would be, and had to come to terms with my own mortality before I signed the consent form on the day of the op after 'prepping'.
As a diabetic, the odds were stacking up against me, and I wish I had taken better care of my condition in my earlier life. 50 years of sex, drugs and rock n roll are not the best preparation for old age. So I urge anyone reading this forum thread who has reservations about using LC diet to reverse diabetes, that you at least try it for while and see what it might do for you. My mother was T1D and passed from complications at age 53. I was 71 a week before my op and I intend sticking around for a bit longer, LC is my lifestyle of choice now and I am sure it helped protect me on my journey.
