DAY 23: Shall We See A Doctor? And by "We," I Mean Me!

Those of you who know me well, know that once I research an idea, and arm myself with enough of what I think is valid information, I don't always, (in other words never), consult professionals, i.e. doctors, who might put the kabash on my endeavor to reverse my diabetes by eating raw for 30 days. Instead, I took a deep breath, and dove into this raw abyss, never looking back.

As I embark on my final week of eating raw, I'm toying with the idea of having a blood work up to see just how much I've truly improved my overall health. My mission: To find a way to get a blood work up without seeing the doctor first, then book an appointment so he can read it and let me know how I'm doing, scientifically speaking. The question remains: Shall we see a doctor? Currently, the only info I'm getting is on my blood glucose monitor. I'm assuming it's accurate based on cross checking my blood glucose level daily with another monitor that I have.

I'd love it if you'd weigh in and let me know what you think. Below is a list of some drastic physical changes noted after 21 days of going raw:

Quit all medications
Upset stomach gone!
Energy boosted; not tired anymore
Stabilized blood glucose levels
Tastebuds are enjoying vegetables & salads
Internally, feeling so much better than before
Only noticing positive changes
No more coughing

When you read this blog, email me, or post your opinion on this site, and let me know your feelings about whether or not I should see a doctor at this point in my journey. I look forward to hearing from you.
