Thanks Mrs. D.

That's exactly what I was going to do. Do the every other day thing.

Makes sense. Hey, I'm storing B-12. That's cool, right. Is that the reason why I was just able to steam mop my whole house, my bathroom walls, the ceiling, wash the kitchen cabinets, and windex my glass stuff in the living room?

This B-12 really gives one some energy doesn't it?? No complaints here. I have no idea why it stops the burning (or even greatly reduces it on stressfull days).

I don't ask questions when the fates are cooperating. I just cooperate back.

I bought Quinoa but found it elevated my blood sugar. I had been under the impression that it wouldn't do that.

So I'll give it to Alan. You'd be surprised what recipes one can come up with using this Quinoa.

But my A1c is fine so I'm not complaining.

My aim is to get my sugar reading to 100 in the morning. One can only hope.

But a B-12 level of 2000. Never in my life did I think that would happen. When she said "oh my god, it's so high, I burst out laughing and tried to explain, BUT THEY WERE NOT INTERESTED. I kept saying 'but I'm diabetic with diabetic neuropathy, and it stops the burning".

One would have thought that a professional in a professional office would have jumped at the chance to help other patients. I kind of thought that she would say to me "oh really?? tell me more about this B-12"!!

Doesn't work this way does it?? What a shame.

I know it doesn't help every diabetic out there, but at least they should be given the information and the option to try and see if it MIGHT work in other people.

But like I said every single doctor I have seen pooh poohed it.

Except for Dr. Fred. He's a body builder who goes to Alan's gym (when Alan used to go to the gym before the foot ulcer).

Now THAT's a doctor who understands supplements.

Thank goodness he is also MY doctor. I don't go to him too much because I go to Cornell but he knows that and he says that's just fine.

So I gather that later on today when he is reviewing all the blood tests from last Wednesday and he comes across my 2000 B-12 result, well, he'll either remember our previous discussion, or he'll call me up and say "Uh, why is your B-12 Level so high? and I'll just laugh and say "Doc, let the bodybuilder in you listen to my explanation for a minute".

He's a wonderful doctor who LISTENS. Thank god.

I don't have a neurologist (don't need one so far).

So I will continue to do my thing, eat my fish, veggies and salads, and maybe one day, I'll get my miracle and get down to 150 lbs (oh yeah, like that's going to happen at 60 years old). lol
