Fasting sugar is 109 mg/dl
Today is rainy and cloudy. Yesterday it was headache all day long. Today I am good. Probably I do feel the weather changing. I use to note it long time ago. I usually love rain. Any rain, worm or cold, Spring or Fall.I love water run over tent, and it is very heavy rain cats-and-dogs. I love light worl Summer rain with rainbow. I simple love any rain.
Headache is easy today. Also there is no such severe pain in left leg. Actually, leg is without pain. It is itchy a little bit, still it is not the pain. The wrap is dry, even in back in lower part of it, right above the foot.The wrap war done in Tuesday, and today is Friday. Still, it is dry. First time for last two month, it is dry a few days without changing outer bandage.
Cross my fingers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Edema still high. But at least I do not see it is getting worse, already good to know. My man said, it does not look that it is kidney failure. If kidney do not work, the edema would be increased. It is still high but without changing.
I try to keep blood sugar under control. I try to do it very hard. It is really not so easy. If I do decrease dose of insulin, sugar getting up. If I do increase dose of insulin, sugar getting too low. So, it is easy to say, keep the same dose, and it is all would be fine. But the reality is, it does not work in this way. I can eat the same meal and the same amount of it, I can stay in the same activity day after day. It does not mean the blood sugar would be the same. Sugar is different, regardless of all the attempt to keep life style in the same regime. The result is, if I try to take the same dose of insulin, it effect level of sugar differently, and sugar going up or down according to the no-one-know-how. Still I try my best.
I got a new book, Advances of Diabetes Mellitus in East Asia under editors Goro Mimura and others. International Congress Series 1141. 1997. It is really very interesting to read, even more interesting then any detective story. What is interesting in this book, that in China and Japan studies a little bit different then studies in US. There are studies, how level of sugar effect mortality, so table include groups with different numbers of fasting plasma glucose or A1c. In Japan in one hospital there were studies of mortality, what caused death diabetics. Interesting, A1c all of them was less then 8.8%. There are CVD, stroke, kidney, liver. Still, it was A1c <8.8%. People die about 10 years shorter then general population, but still it is over 65 and with longer duration of diabetes then it is in US. I was in hospital with A1c= 9.4%. I was discharged right away from ER. Too risky to keep diabetic in hospital. Better to send us to modify our lives in the care of loved one.
Another point is, whay do I read all those books? Really, why do I need them? I do know way too well, I will not take any medicine to reduce blood sugar level but insulin, and only insulin. I do not take short acting types of insulin such as Apridra or Novolog. It is too clear for me why in hospital all the time they try to inject Novolog. At lead they can shot, it is improvement. There is no any improvement, it is trick. Blood sugar drop down, so it is no longer fatally high. But two hours later it is getting back, and with higher run.It is swing, high-low. I do not need to fool myself. I go home without Novolog injections, with high numbers of glucose level. Anyway, there is no any court. Disgusting!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another interesting point is EDEMA. Why edema come after most dangerous medical conditions, which are still not fatal? MI follow by edema. High blood sugar numbers follow by edema when they are dropped with insulin therapy. Really, why it is all the time edema? What if edema is protection, sort of?
In any case, I am not going to take any diuretics to reduce edema I do have right now. I still wait. At least it does not going up. Yes, it does not go down, but even so, till it does not go up it is already good.
Today I do have another clinic. Cross my fingers.
