Guest guest Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 That is good news Mark. Also, when my BG goes up high, I get chest pain, which the doc says is probably referred pain from the stomach.

So far I've done good for a week and all ready my sugars have dropped. I go back for a A1C check up around the end of July. I know it will be lower then 13, but don't know how much lower. I would be tickled purple with a A1C of 10 by the end of July and back to where it should be in the next 3 months after that. like under 6 by Thanksgiving would be some thing to be very thankful fore.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Mark, You are doing well. My indocrinologist wants me to achieve an A1C some where between 6.5 and 7.0. This is considerably larger than my previous A1C of 5.5 or 5.6. In following my indocrinologists prescription for carb consumption and insulin dosage I have only had two low sugar reactions in the past year. One was for a glr of 68 or 69 , I for get which and the other was for a glr of 83, which is in the normal range. My indocrinologist seems quite satisfied if I can achieve glr's lower than 180 and 140 and above. IMO these are quite high glr's, but I am striving to follow doctor's orders at present, since it keeps my wife from getting distressed when I do.The time I got a glr of 38 freeked out my wife, when she saw me fighting the emergency technicians who were holding me down and strapping me to a gerney to transport me to the hospital. Of course it didn't bother me, because I was unconscious. stress test results. the saw bones says I got about 20% blockage in the arteries on the bottom of my heart. he thinks diet, exercise and controlling my diabetes better then a A1C of 13 will clear up any trouble. he doesn't think going in to look around with the arterial gram is the thing to do right now unless I just want to for my own peace of mind.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Damn! between 180 and 140? those numbers seems like your A1C would be over eight and maybe nine. I got a 2 hour reading after the same lunch I had yesterday. my reading to day was 171, but the very same lunch yesterday was 135. makes no sense to me. well no matter because my reading the past week are much lower then they have been. I sure do miss eating all that junk that is bad for me. like Mexican food! Man o Man do I dig that bad carb loaded food. O well, guess we chose between living or a hard painful death and that choice points us one way or the other. Now I know you are a type 2 as I. but you are on insulin and I just take lots of pills. can some one like me who only takes pills have a low sugar like you had? how would you know you were having a low reaction like that if you were home by your self? I'm home all day for about 12 hours and if that happen to me, well wouldn't be a good thing I'm thinking. don't blame your wife for being scared. I believe I would be scared as well. one time I heard or read that doctor's are now thinking that diabetics who keep a tight control on there sugar like between 5 and 6 have more problems with there diabetes? they are now saying that a diabetic does better with there A1C between 6 and 7. well I got no clue my self, but can tell you that being around 13 sucks and lots of chest pain from it. I did have this many problems with pain and the such when my A1C was between 6 and 7. actually I felt pretty good. Well you hang in there Harry. You are one of the one's who have kept me around on this list after all these years. really enjoy your post and find you very interesting. stress test results. the saw bones says I got about 20% blockage in the arteries on the bottom of my heart. he thinks diet, exercise and controlling my diabetes better then a A1C of 13 will clear up any trouble. he doesn't think going in to look around with the arterial gram is the thing to do right now unless I just want to for my own peace of mind.

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 Well Markie, welcome to the Wonderful World of Diabetes. (LOLLLLOLLLOL) This morning my BS was 125 while yesterday it was 157. Hmm, you are correct, it makes no sense. One glorious morning it was 105 so there may be hope?
