Ashybang said:
Thank you for the good wishes I've received. They are all appreciated.

BG 9.1 mmol.
Had stents to open up artery.
Senior Surgeon refused heart by-pass operation.
They're fixing me up a little bit at a time by the look of things.
It has stopped the intense pressure attacks in the head I was getting, which was distressing and literally thought I was dying whenever I had attack.
Now that's cleared I'm well happy .

Best news is I'm Going Home today.....

7.3mmols at 8am meh! I can tell I’m eating too many carbs without the finger pricks. Night sweats, not sleeping well, indigestion (which I haven’t had for at least a year) and my mood is low. It seems wasteful to throw out all the heavy carb food that’s left from Christmas but I think it has to be done!

I keep thinking it’s Sunday. Have a lovely Thursday everyone x

6.2 this morning. Decided to weight myself today after a period of not doing so for at least a couple of months. Really got a shock at how much weight I had put on. Not managing much exercise at present, plus I have got into the habit of having coffee with cream quite frequently, then there are the nuts..... change is needed I think.
 
Hi friends.....
My diagnosis was all very technical from scan results, with various arteries in differing stages of being blocked, by cholesterol, and years of hard heavy smoking.
The upshot was, iv had two diagnosed heart attacks.
From my experience of past 8 months worth of 'Episodes' of sudden turns etc, i suspect ive had a few more heart attacks (undiagnosed) throughout 2023.
I hammered my way through this period, by smashing GTN sprays into my system, to dilate blood vessels and get relief from these attacks.
I now know what to look out for in future ..........


Back home and im reading BG7.1 mmol this morning.

I would like to get this BG reading lower again.
Sending out love, thanks and best thoughts to all who have endured me, on this forum .
Heart felt warmth sent to all who need it..
