Day-by-Day. September 24, 2017

Sugar is good, 105 mg/dl.
        Yesterday I took 280 units of insulin, 20 units less then usual. It is good because of when sugar getting up I have to increase dose of insulin. It is OK, I do not feel really big differences. But it is the signal, my health condition is getting worse. This is why I love when dose of insulin dropping, but the level of sugar still under control.
         I think I do have infection, better to say inflammation. Inflammation is the chronicle condition. With infection we get down very fast, so we take actions such as go to ER or take medicine we do have under hand. With inflammation we do have this condition day after day. we are not really healthy, but still, we are not in critical condition, so we go to work and live our daily life as healthy as we can. Still, it is far away from being healthy life style. With time we have to pay it back, and in higher price. Most dangerous part of this life, ether we are, nether any medical provider take good care for this condition. We cannot do it, we have no education and have no medicine to deal with it. Medical Care does not care because of we are pretty OK and they do not see any need to pay any attention for our condition till it is too late.
         Right now I do have edema, condition when water does no go away. It is also became chronicle condition. So simple, no one provider see it. I am in room with doctor and doctor not able to recognize how loudly I breath. After that I have to do to doctor and say to him what? Really, what I have to say to doctor? Do I have to diagnose myself? Do I have to convince doctor that I do have edema rather then obesity? Edema needs another treatment. Weight loss surgery is not appropriate to treat edema. It is diuretics that usually used to treat edema. They are hardly abused. Finally we develop allergy, and they stop to work for us. Water stay inside and lead to high swelling, obesity. Regardless it is fat or water, bathroom scale will show high number.
       Right now I can have treatment to reduce edema. It is compression devises such as sleeves for legs and arms, even for middle area. This will cost me around $500. Most important, I am not sure it will work.
       I do have wrap roles. They work a little bit. But it is allergy, and skin is very itchy. Also it is difficult to put wrap even, so skin folds and in folds it is extremely painful. I have to take these wraps away. One wrap for two legs cost more then $5. Do the math. I have to wrap my legs and keep them wrapped all the time. As soon as wrap removed I cannot use it second time. I need to use fresh wrap every time. To safe money I simple do not take shower every day as healthy people. I take shower when I need to go outside. Anyway, I cannot take shower by myself.  I need someone who help me.
       At least right now there is no broken skin, and skin is dry. Good progress. No pus running down on the leg.
