Hi,
Well I have been side swiped again!......
Couple months ago developed septicemia (staphylococcus aureus) blood infection. Ended up in hospital for 2.5 weeks. Doc said after I recovered fully "you are a luck lucky guy, 1 in 5 die from the infection you got".
Then, after that I visited the doc and he said gout diagnosis was wrong, I do have athritis!
Anyways, in hospital I got Bran Flakes every morning and took a liking to them. My blood sugar was taken every day and it was low (5)......I thought great, I'll be on these Bran Flakes when I leave hospital, however, I found out from the doc that all patients who stay overnight get a daily insulin pill irrespective of whether they are diabetic or not. I didn't know!
Anyways, this took a few weeks afterward for me to find out meanwhile I was chomping on Bran Flakes not realizing the carbs in them. Oops!
2018 is a year I want to forget.
PS. Thankyou for helping out to reset my profile so I could login.
Ian.
