The good news is that I've lost another pound, down to 418. That's after eating whatever I've wanted this week - just not caring. The doc called me this morning with the blood test results from last week; my blood sugar was at 72 (!) and my A1C was 6.0. These are pretty incredible numbers.
However, there is bad news. The doc says my gout has gotten really bad. She thought last week that the gout might be getting to my other joints and this would explain why I've been having trouble with my feet, ankles and knees. The blood tests show my gout is worse than that. It's gotten so bad it's hitting my kidneys. The doc says she thinks it's reversible, we got it early. But, it's my kidneys so it's serious. Apparently I also have some type of infection - no shock with my kidneys taking a hit.
So, the doc is giving my an antibiotic and some gout meds and she wants to see me next week. I'll keep you all up to date.
