Guest guest Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 Hi Harry, I am confused. Wouldn't one want to rid himself of an infection first? No amount of exercise or diet will kill an infection. Also would it not be hard on your system to exercise with an infection? Do you have a fever even low grade? What did your Dr. suggest?

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 I have no fever and as far as I know I do not have a localized infection. It is not unusual for a diabetic to have elevated DRP levels, which signals an inflamatory process is present. The doctor recommended diet and exercise and a retest in three months.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 I think so, since more carbs raises your LDL and it also raises my LDL. After three more months we should know for sure, since I am cutting my carb intaike into half of what I have been doing for the past four months. I will eat only 50 grrams ± 10 grams per day starting yesterday. latest lab results > > >> >> On 1/18/2005 blood was drawn for the following lab test results: >> A1C 5.3 >> CRP 5.68 definitely not good at all. >> homocystiene 11 lower than last time, but still not good.
