I have been really slacking on the blog lately, but I went to the doctor today and got my first post-diagnosis A1C. The doctor said, “You hit a home run. 5.1 %.” I was floored. I knew it would be better than 12.8 % , but I was figuring it would be around 7%. I’m going to keep doing what I’v...

I blog from the lobby of the ophthalmologists. Will I be wearing bifocals at the age of 41? I know that’s a negative way to look at things but I am so tired of going to the doctor so much. Posted in diabetes, eyes

After not blogging for a while, I’m back. I still have blood in my urine. I was referred to a urologist, the appointment is later this month. I want to fix this so much.  I want to know why this is happening, and if it is related to my diabetes. On another note I am almost done with my Bayer B...

My doctor’s nurse called me back and told me that my IVP came back ok and that I could restart my Metformin. I will be coming back next Friday to give some urine so they can check it for blood again. At least the doctor thinks my bod is getting back to “normal” whatever that means.

Yesterday morning I had an IVP. I had to sign a disclaimer saying among other things that it was possible to die from the procedure. What a warm and fuzzy disclosure! It took a long time, at least an hour and a half. It didn’t make me feel weird or kill me (yet). I can’t take my Metformin unti...

Tomorrow I go to the podiatrist. I’ll let him know about the cheap deal I got on my compression stockings at http://www.foryourfeet.com . His source wants $30, in a quantity 10 I bought mine for $17.11. That’s a savings of $128.90, and his source was selling the Juzo 5700, now discontinued where...

Well, the ultrasound didn’t show anything, but I still have blood in my urine, so Tuesday I have a test called an IVP. The inject dye in your arm and x-ray your body. If this doesn’t find the source of the bleeding I will have to see a urologist. My doctor had me go to the pharmacy and have the...

I have my primary doctor appointment this morning. Hopefully he will say the ultrasound looked fine. I have a podiatry appointment on Monday, and ophthalmology appointment near the end of the month. Right now it is entirely possible I will be able to enjoy the whole month of October without a doc...

Well, I have a doctor’s appointment tomorrow morning and hopefully he will talk to me about my ultrasound results. I hope all is well. I’m still nervous, and yes a little frightened. I bought one of those digital body fat scales. If you think your scales are giving you ridiculously low results,...
