“Just wanted to let you know I saw the doctor yesterday. Blood pressure was 120/80.  I had my blood work done and my doctor rang me first thing this morning because she was so excited about the results! Blood sugar – bog standard normal (no sign of diabetes!) Protein in urine dropped from 168 to 3 – no sign of chronic kidney disease! And there were various other good numbers she threw at me about lipids and things which I didn’t really take in after that much good news! She just couldn’t get over the change – she’d never had a patient make such dramatic positive change in such a short period of time. (six months.) And whatever I was doing, I should keep doing it. I honestly couldn’t get her off the phone, she was just so… enthusiastic! Wow!”
