Been to see my doctor this morning, he said that my relative clean bill of health following all the tests he had me do ( stomach ultrasound, colonoscopy, gastroscopy, all sorts of blood and faeces lab tests) was a big but pleasant surprise.

He is worried about my loss of weight and drop in haemoglobin and iron levels. To quote him "when a patient presents with these, he is usually in for some bad news"

He has now got me doing a chest x-ray. I am sitting in the waiting room as I write.

I have never been a smoker so I will feel really short changed if there is something wrong with my lungs.

Fingers crossed all is well

I have the chest x-ray results.

All clear it seems except that the arteries on the left lung appear somewhat enlarged. The specialist doctor that looked at the X-ray, who happens to be a neighbor and friend now wants me to have an upper body CT scan to be absolutely certain that all is OK.

I have to clear it with my own doctor first but in all likelihood I will be taking the scan tomorrow.

I have never been so thoroughly tested before in my life

Hope all goes well for you.If it's any comfort to you I had all those tests done a few years ago and nothing was found.They are pretty unpleasant tests to have but worth it to have a clean bill of health and peace of mind.........except for this bloomin diabetes!

Fbg 5.9 much better than its been since my monthly which allowed me to reduce insulin but court me out afterwards when hormones changed.
Yes. Me. I was taken by surprise. I don't like surprises anymore.

Ixarix · Oct 9, 2017

So my BG was a nice 6.4 today. Happy for sure, but slightly mystified by that number. After my meal yesterday I was expecting it to maybe be higher. But I'll happily take this. Hope everyone has a great day.

12.3 this morning, setting off for doctors referral to hospital diabetes clinic this morning, not sure what to expect as i have never been there before.

goodluck let us all know how you get on

pavlosn · Oct 10, 2017

7,1 mmol this morning.

A combination of too many carbs last night and the stress of having a chest and abdomen scan this morning

The barrage of medical tests I have been having to do lately is begining to get me down a bid.

No morning walk today. If all goes well I will make up for it tonight.

So I leave you with a couple of photos of some sea faffodils Pancratium maritimum from my trip on Sunday. They grow wild where they have no business to do so on sandy and beaches exposed to the salty sea air.

Update: sugars came down to 5, 9 by 7 am without the aid of a walk or medication. I was asked not to take metformin (Glucophage today) as in combination with the "dye" they will inject to carry out the scan it could be harmful to my kidneys.

Morning folks .. 4.6 at 05.00

Hey Pav, you have gone through loads of really stressful stuff just lately. I know things are difficult right now but please stay strong. You owe it to yourself and all of us here your virtual extended diabetic family

Hallo en goeie oggend, my heerlike bakkies van wildebees sop. I awoke this.morning to find my dawg with my set of finest crayons. She had eaten the red, blue and orange ones and with the black one etched 'your blood sugar this morning on waking is 2.9mmols' I don't know who said dogs are smart but they were wrong. My blood sugar was actually 3.7mmols. Man's best friend? I think not. Have a super duper Tuesday all of you.
