Wound Care and amputation prevention. January 23, 2018

I do not know if the way how I am dealing with wounds on my leg will prevent amputation or not. I just post all in time line, what I am doing and what I am thinking, and what I wish to see. So, it is just my personal experience, nothing more. Do not call me Troll. I do not ask anyone to follow me. If I will see someone who honesty post diabetes progression or reverse I would be happy to follow that blog. So far I did mot meet any.
     I do not follow any diet. I do not think that any diet, Starvation diet including would reverse diabetes type 2. This never worked for anyone, my self including.The reason that no food or meal will reverse diabetes type 2 is that there are so many different food we eat, and so different one day from another, it is not possible to follow one diet or one plan how to eat. No one doctor every would be able to give right recommendations.
    Dealing with diabetes we do have constant number, the level of sugar in blood. yeas, it is range, still we have to have it in control. So, all range can be routhly taken as "A", just one number.
A = F (c) - Ac (activity when calories burned out) If "A" is constant, then when we change our activity we must change our calorie intake. But according to MD we have to take constant number of calories, 2 000 calories for man, 1800 calories for women. Is so, then when we go to work out we have to adjust calories intake.If we do not have activity today as work out but go to beating, we have to adjust this activity to the calories intake. Say me how. One hour work out really very different then 2 hours. Also one done work out in very intense level, and another one is very slow.
      Now there are another question. Does MD never mistake in diagnose? In treatment options? If so, then is this really true that with promise of Dr. Oz or Professor Taylor how to eat we really will be happy live without diabetes Type 2? I do not think so.
    I take my life in my hands, and keep it close to my control.

      Now about wounds. One year ago wounds started open on my legs. I posted pictures of them. I went to Hospital. There were not too much help. Then I went to Wound Care clinic. Wounds started to close. Now my legs are dry. Still, wounds are close and ready to surface at any moment. To prevent wounds from getting back to surface and to open, my man wrap my legs every day, sometimes twice a day if wrap become loose.
     It is poor circulation. This is why wounds developed. Wound started to develop deep inside, DVT, when clot stopped inside veins and block blood supply. Blood vessel raptures, and wound develops. Something like that.
    One day I thought that wrap is bad idea. It is stop circulation, and this is why there are so much pain. So, we stopped to wrap legs. Two days later wounds started to open. Color of skin darkened, almost blacked. Pain started to come in and do not go away. Three days later w returned back to wrapping. Now skin light, dry. No pain. No discomfort. Wrap is good for my legs. I sleep well, no pain.
    Why and how it happened?
 Reduced blood flow can slow wound healing. It can also make your body less effective at fighting infection. As a result, your wound may not heal. Tissue damage or death (gangrene) may occur, and any existing infection may spread to your bone.
I do not know. Still I do have a theory.
     It is Edema, Water Retention. Why diabetics make water still not known. At least I never crossed that study like that were conducted. This water retention leads us to severe obesity. At night, for what reason, Edema getting worse. This is why when I sleep the pain in leg became unbearable. I have to take wrap off. But with time Edema got slow down. So, when I sleep legs are pain-free, and I sleep all night vice and sound.
    Now the question is, why I did not have this treatment when I was in hospital? DO they know how to address to the treatment of diabetic's wounds? Looks like not. I was discharged from hospital in the same condition I was admitted. Only sugar changed. It run up and up. They refused to give me insulin shots, so blood sugar raised. They easy to Ex physical therapy, or water pills. They never take any look how does their treatment works? If it works at all.
 In 2010, 73,000 American adults who have diabetes and are over age 20 had amputations.
100 million people in the United States have diabetes or prediabetes.
It is real fear for me. I can be in these 73,000 at any year. Now I try my best to keep all aprts of my body at the same place there were all my life.
