Facing east

I've been on a new diet since October. I started going to a NRT specialist, and this is how my body responded to his vials. No dairy, no gluten, no corn. Added on top of my low carb/little-to-no sugar regime. His method of diet and supplements individually tailored to my body's response to his testing, definitely cleared me of Candida, a condition that makes you crave sugar (diabetic kryptonite), in just one month. So now I'm going for optimal health and seeing what happens. In addition I'm working on balancing my body energetically by taking a Reiki session every month or so. This has been an extremely rewarding experience, seeing positive changes each and every time I go. Both of these methods are outside of the normal Western medicine outlook, and thus out of my insurance coverage, but I'm finding myself compelled to find answers beyond "We don't know what caused your illness, and we don't know how to cure it, just rely on this insulin."
So far I've reduced some insulin, had the best A1c (3 month average of glucose readings), minimized concern about my thyroid, and lost 10lbs. That's a pretty good start for 4 months work.
