Days of... bed news

Last week: High cholesterol. Need to watch what I eat, exercise routine must begin, and lipitor was prescribed. Ugh.

This week: Eye doctor today. May have beginning of glaucoma on left eye, a nerve is swollen. Ugh. Must go back for test.

Bad diabetes, bad bad bad.

Lentus was upped to 28cc.
Yesterday 165
Today 180
So, so... I still think my magic number is 40. We'll see.

Stomach pain!

Night with bad cramps, day with bad cramps... around 9m they stopped thanks to ginger and pepto... Still, I don't know if it is because of the shots or not. I did not take the meds or shots today, as the pain was really bad. Will start Lantus again, as I am still very sore. The endo had said to stop if stomach ache appeared, and this med has that effect when affecting the pancreas, so no playing with it. Period.

I had no med stoday, so sugar is highwired... Will take my Lantus at 1am (in 15 minutes). Hopefully belly pain will be gone by tomorrow... 3 days is too much.

In the Beginning

So... It may seem a bit late to start a 365 blog, but I decided to do it now as I seem to start something new in my life: Taking care of myself. Not that I didn't before, but now it makes sense to actually log what is going on with me, daily, to have hard evidence of changes and if it all worked...

After almost 10 years I had an endocrinologist check. Turns out I am not a Type 1 diabetic, and not a Type 2 diabetic... I am Type 1.5... Interesting. So the specialist says I should use insulin, in the long run, at the end of it all. In the meantime, I should be able to manage my diabetes with the right medicine and sensible diet.

Starting yesterday at midday I had a shot of Vi___. Today before midday (as i wake up at that time) I was 148 fastening. Not bad as I'm usually 180-205. Weight 220 pounds. Let's see what happens...
