Type 2 Life

[eddie1968]

Evening. FBG 8.9 mmol/l, this infection has raised my sugars. Well yesterday I got a surprise - remember that inpatient sleep study test I had in mid February ? I got the results from Gartnavel General Hospital yesterday and they said the test showed sleep apnoea and they have arranged another inpatient stay to get fitted for a CPAP machine.

Thanks for your good wishes @debrasue and @ickihun - unfortunately it didn't go as planned. While the dentist was pulling out his dodgy tooth she nicked the roof of his mouth, she tried to put a stitch in it but it was right on the edge of the numb area so was unsuccessful. He was in so much pain he had to have more anaesthetic which meant more delays Good job I brought some walnuts with me to snack on, I tested myself just when we were leaving and I was 5.1 which is quite low for me. Still, we're feeling much better now - I have my cup of tea and he's watching YouTube videos while dosed up to the eyeballs with painkillers!

Oh dear! It's enough to give anyone a dentist phobia.....
I'll bet he's glad it's all over now though - and well done you for planning ahead!

That's good news - and it appears it might help with your BG levels, too.

Thanks for that info on the Spanish study. The mask looks pretty uncomfortable - might spoil my good looks lol.

Yey, coming off Metformin ... Doc says lower blood pressure, cholesterol and HbA1c means stopping this is fine - will review other medication in 4 months, but exercise and lifestyle changes have made such a difference.

Also, shouldn't beat myself up if I fall off the wagon once in a while. It's a good day today!

Wolf whistle! Look at you. Fantastic news. So no more diabetic meds?
I wish I'd had these forums when I was first diagnosed.
Well done and keep up the good work.
You know how to bounce back so I know you are well armed with tools to kick diabetes in the gut. For ever.

 

[KevinPotts]

I think that's why it works so well, Kevin, don't you? We all know that this is the place to come when we need to offload, and we remember those who offered their love and support, so we make sure we're there for them when they need it too. Long live this community!

Amen to that sister !!

Yep @ickihun no more diabetes meds. Doc knew I wanted to try stop them before camping in August - without going into the details, an 'upset' tummy on a campsite would be be fun. Will review BP and cholestorol meds in 3 months, I want to get off them all.

Honestly, the help and support of this forum has been phenomenal - and I've always appreciated you boosting me when I've been a bit low, thank you.

Thanks for support, I could tell you but don't think that's allowed on here ha ha. It's awful I'm looking over my shoulder, checking number when phone rings. Still he's not type to give up, been going on for agesssssss!!!! Hope your doing ok, seems I can get on forum without trouble today !!!

@maureen5752 can't you report him, it is not right if someone is doing this to you. A suggestion, helpful I hope, write down every time something happens - otherwise the memory fails (well I know mine does), if you have everything written down it will be easier for you to raise a complaint with the police I think.

He shouldn't be able to drive you away @maureen5752 I've lived next to a nasty neighbour, it was horrible - made me not want to go home. Hoping you can resolve it. Sending you virtual hugs - and best wishes it will be resolved soon, just don't let the ****** get you down!

 

[PenfoldAPD]

Thank you @KevinPotts I'm super happy tonight. I wasn't expecting it until maybe late next month so very pleased when GP suggested it.

Interestingly my GP changed recently (other one retired), I think this one is more forward thinking and so supportive of me coming off all my medication.

[debrasue]

Glad to be back, feel really ill, while out had threatening bad language calls, txts & found loads of stuff (the used unwanted) dumped at back door of flats!!! So stressed never know what's going on can't relax!!

Hmm, I think @ickihun may be right - it could be time to call in some back-up. This guy needs to be taught some manners.....
