I had clinic this week. My endo run blood test. A1c=5.6%. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! I did it! Well, it is not that I do diabetes-free, I am not. I take from 300 to 600 units Insulin daily dose, depending on level of sugar. Still, to have A1c 5.6% is great achievement. I used to have 1000 mg/dl sugar in urine. I was in hospital. They gave me urine test, but reduced to show blood test. So, I have no idea what sugar was in blood. They simple sent me out of ER back at home. At home sugar was 599 mg/dl, limit glucose meter. So, the level of sugar in blood at that time still mystery. Highest A1c = 9.4% was when I re-started to take Insulin. Now it is 5.6%. Finally, I did it!
It is all in my blog. I try to post my numbers to other people to see that it is possible to get numbers fixed and diabetes stop to be progressive. Diabetes type 2 progressive only because of there is not right treatment. If treatment right, diabetes type 2 will getting down, and even go away. Of cause, I still do not have prove of it. With so good numbers I still need Insulin, and high dose of it. But if sugar dropped from 9.4% down to 5.6% then why dose of insulin cannot drop down? It is already started. I do not inject 600 units of Insulin daily. Some days I do, but not every day. Some days I inject only 300 or 460 units. So this is way to go.
I was in big stress when dose of Insulin got up. It is almost doubled, from 300 up to 600 and even 700 units. I could not believe in that. All my hopes were down. This started in December 2017. I hoped that in Spring sugar will get better. It did not. Dose of Insulin raised. But I did not feel worse, and this was some sort of confront. If sugar get up, dose of Insulin get up, so I have to have other vitals getting down. In general, it did not happen.
Now I do have very good cholesterol. Usually it is all the time very elevated. But not right now. Right now it is normal. I take Lipitor 80 mg daily dose. No one statin ever worked for me. Lipitor done the job. Still TG is high. Usually in clinic nurse used to say to me that TG is only what we do eat. Work out diet, and numbers will get better. Not at all. TG is show case of Heart. If heart is in poor shape, TG all time high. I do have problem with heart. Actually, it is very poor condition. But there is nothing what can be done.
First suggest when I come to any clinic or any cardio clinic, is to take Weight Loss Surgery. I refuse. After that MD lost all interest on me, so I have no other treatments. I am 380 pounds. It is easy to see where from my heart problems rooted. Not all what is easy to see is true. I had heart problem since I was little girl. I had shortness of breath when I was in 5th grade. At that time I was perfectly fit. So, there is nothing different between me in 5th grade and now. So, if I survived with this heart till my 65 birthday, there is nothing to worry that I will not survive next ten years.
What is interesting today, how my kidney work. This is really very very interesting. Last time I went to clinic, and I did not visited restroom in clinic! For those who has problem with kidney this is huge to achieve. In clinic as usual there were line, and we waited our turn. Then we went to lab (another line to take) to do blood work. Finally when we went home we took detour to Medical Supply. Also it is to say, our home about 30 min away from clinic (on car) without traffic. In other words, I was away from home between 4 and 5 hours. No restroom visits. This is great!
Kidney still damaged. It is in blood work and in Urine test. No any treatment for kidney. Usually it is water pills, and I refuse to take this medicine. I cannot imagine, why there are so little medicine to work to prevent kidney damage? There are 3 fatty text books in my library, all about kidney. The question is, why do I need all that tests and diagnoses if all the treatment MD can suggest only water pills?
As I said, I do my studies. And I do my homework very well. I am well organized. I put in my log book all what I am facing. And I keep all blood work if I do have copy. Very often MD refuse to give Copy.
