So,,,, a few weeks ago, while at work, my right (dominant) eye suffered a torn retina. I’ve had two emergency laser surgeries since then and my eye is recovering but I also have to have my diabetes health monitored a bit more closely because of my genetic heart condition and how it connects to my diabetic condition. My primary doctor increased my medication for diabetes and because I’m now somehow insulin resistant (aging issue, primarily), I have to be super careful with my dietary regimen and do extra things to help my body process what I take in daily (small meals, tons more water, extra magnesium is now necessary, etc).

Since three weeks ago, with my new dietary regimen ( big increase in dietary fiber : psyllium and super greens organic powders mixed with purified water) I’ve been losing weight, which I’m grateful for because my doctor doesn’t want me to injure my internal organs with using those weight loss injections (semaglutide formulas). So I’ve been feeling better due to implementing dietary changes and hope that my long term changes will aide in preventing eye injury issues to my retina area. I have to be checked every few weeks (12/weeks) to make sure we are back in safe territory for my health!

Be well and stay safe, friends.

XOXO 😘
