My husband's blood numbers took a dive at the beginning of this year, and we didn't really put it all together until recently when I put all his numbers into a spreadsheet from the past 4 years.

We notice a dive right at Christmases. Which is interesting, because this is the only time of year he eats a lot more sugary and unhealthy food, and even drinks Alcohol (not a big drinker).

I also noticed a decline in his platelets after a conversation with the Diabetes Doctor who told him aspartame was the lesser of two evils when it comes to sugar vs aspartame. As soon as he was diagnosed, I stopped buying him any aspartame and just suggested he not drink as much pop, and his numbers improved. Then when he swapped back to aspartame briefly ... his platelets shot down.

I'm wondering if any of you have put together any kind of trend.
