my history

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

A little history, I have had low blood sugar since my 13 year old son was a few

months old (this is the first I can remember). The

first time I was in a grocery store shopping (with my mother and son) and

started trembling, I had to eat some peanut butter &

crackers while shopping and felt better. I had a glucose tolerance test done

and it got very low. I dealt with low until 1994 when

my sugar skyrockets during a bout of step throat. Started meds and within a few

weeks, it was back low again. Then the last 6+

months it has got high again. Started meds and it is still high. It has

effected my eye sight (since 1994) to where I can no longer

read a book or newspaper and sometimes the computer screen is blurry and I have

trouble reading it. Forget buying glasses, as soon

as I have them checked by the time they are ready my eyesight has changed again.

When I get up in the mornings I can't read

anything.

My doctor had a baby and moved NC, so I had to find a new one. I have seen my

newest doc once and am scheduled to go back the 12th.

I just got my blood test results back. My 3 month was 10.4 and I have been on

Glyburide 10mg and now she upped it to 20mg a day.

She said there was some kidney damage, I have a copy of my test results but

can't remember which test showed this to give you a

number. What does some kidney damage mean?

My challenge is to:

1. Walk more - I have been for the last 9 days.

2. Cut sweets especially choc out - very hard to do, I crave it.

I don't drink water, is that very important?

Yesterday I purchased Chromium Picolinate 200mg, how many should I take?

I also have Fibromyalgia, which means most days it is hard to even get up and

moving, I ache all the time like I have a high fever,

can not sleep for more than 2-3 hours at a time. I am a walking heart attack,

I have had 2 doctors tell me they are surprised I am

still alive.

I am a 44 year old wife of 27 years, mother to 23 year old and 13 year old sons,

and grandmother to a 14 month old grand daughter.

I have enough daily stress to kill a healthy bull. (smile)

I need help!!!
