Thursday 8th May.
i collected my 0.25mg dose from the pharmacy (just under €120) and proceeded up to the small hospital in our town. I had an appointment at 10.00 to see the lovely Dr K (an internal medicine specialist) who has taken over my diabetes care.
My thyroid ultrasound scans were clear, and so we were able to proceed. She showed me what to do, and then injected me. I did not feel anything - a definite plus for me. Discussion of side effects (again) and I went off with a spring in my step.
Bathroom scales were the order of the day. My weight was down from 106kg to 94kg, mainly due to a sensible diet, and daily swimming in our pool, and the reduction of the corticosteroids dosage from every three days to every five days.
i plan to record the ups and downs of my journey every Thursday. Blood sugar tonight was 136. No discernible side effects.
