Over Weight and Heading toward Diabetes
In 2019 my health was going in the wrong direction. I was overweight and had high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I met Dr. Donald Blackmon, MDVIP. He gave me an extensive physical exam. He told me I was trending toward diabetes. I ask for his help to change my diet and suggest an exercise program. He told me to start walking three miles per day. He suggested a very restrictive diet that was similar to the MEDITERRANEAN diet. I followed his strict plan, and over a year, I lost 44 lbs, my A1C was reduced from 6.2 to 5.7, and my blood pressure medication was reduced from 20mg/day to 10mg/day. My cholesterol medication was reduced from 80mg/day to 20 mg/day. My health is good. I have followed Dr. Blackmon's advice and have been on the exercise and diet for four years. Dr. Blackmon saved my life, and I am very thankful.
