Day by Day. February 2, 2018

Blood Sugar is 209 at 6 am, fasting.
       Why sugar is so high? Yesterday I took only 240 units of insulin, only one shot. I was sleepy all day. I woke up, took shot, and return to the bed. No energy to function. Then I woke up, was active for some time and after supper I returned to be, around 8 pm. No energy. I was so sleepy that I fall asleep right in front  of my PC. I did not have energy to take another shot. Really I thought I would be OK  with 240 units. Turned out it is not OK. Today sugar is high. Really high. This number if it is random would be diagnose for diabetes. It is fasting.
      I still have hope. One day I would have Honeymoon phase and would not be so dependent on insulin. As it is known, Hope die last. Looks like I lost that window opportunity.  Now it is closed to me.
     I got wrap from Amazon, $46 for 18 rolls. Now my legs wrapped and I do feel very nice and comfortable. When edema out of control the wrap is not possible to wear. Pain is not bearable. Now second night I sleep with these wraps, and no pain, just comfort. But it is very very expensive, One wrap cost $2.5, two rolls every time in use. I also try to find out if I can use wrap to upper leg, above the knee. It is really not so easy. I need compression boots, but the cost is $400 and I am not sure it would work or not.
       Usually it is published how much diabetic type 2 cost to society. It is never published how much we cost to our families. What financial burden we are. Every one educate me what to eat. No one educate what to do to avoid amputation. I must to find my way to keep my leg. It is really costly. No one educate what to do with severe headache or pain in right tight, so severe that I cannot get out of bed. I even not able to take any move. Happy for my this pain is not every time, so I do have Window of Opportunity to be a human.
      I suspect that the pain in the right tight get easy when legs wrapped with right wrap. Probably wrap help to decrease edema in all body? I do not know. I just know, edema does not come from eating of fat. It is water retention. Diabetic's body never stop making water.  Usually we have to take water pills, diuretics, to help to destroy our kidney and to shorten our lives. Cost effective treatment. Cost of one roll of wrap is $2.5. I need two rolls for every leg wrapping. After use these wrap go to trash. I do not know how much cost water pills. Anyway it is free for me with my plan. It soct money to buy wraps. I do not have Rx for wraps.
      I am so happy now. I do have scooter. It is very nice, powerful and beautiful. I am free now to go where I wish to go, or at list I can go. I even can go to a museum, to The Metropolitan Museum. And of cause I go to Lincoln Center, to The Met Opera, NY Phill, or Starr Theater. Usually we do not go to Broadway.  There are too many dynamics around, too noisy.
