Avocados are good too. Sorry I forgot them. I love guacamole!

People lose weight when they have malabsorption syndromes.
Cancer, and diabetes uncontrolled. But her tests don't point to frank diabetes yet. Some cardiac conditions also cause weight loss, and this is called cardiac cachexia.

And some people just lose weight as they get older. (sorry to say I am not one of those types ...sigh).

The fact that she did not show the high spike with pure glucose
means she is making insulin.

She will just have to see what happens with time, IMO.

You are not alone there, mrsD.

And my cardiac issues have made me even more sedentary which has not helped control my weight. I think the only way I will lose weight is when I am decomposing in the ground.

My doc wants to check my thyroid again. I told him ........ waste of time...... I don't think I can use that as an "excuse". Bet it will come back normal. Everything else may be out of whack but my thyroid will be fine.
