Guest guest Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 Pain still there. JUst got back from the Dr, he gave me some patches for it and told me to take 600 mg ibuprophen every 6 hours, said if that doesn't so it he will go to more aggressive modalities. My labs had come back, my BS was a bit high so he didn't want to put me on steroids (just as well, don't want 'em), he wants to do more labs to make sure I'm not diabetic. They have been going back and forth with me for years, one doc sez I am, the next one sez I ain't. *sigh*. My liver/kidney etc are all good, cholesterol a wee bit high but can'tt43 be too bad since he didn't give me anything for it. My insurance saved me $761.99 on the meds, BTW...(the patches)   ~*~Hugs~*~ ~*~Akiba~*~ Pragmatic Visionary http://www.affiliates-natural-salt-lamps.com/pages/156.php -- How is everyone?

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Way back when.. Bill had injured his shoulder, had the surgery to repair, developed pneumonia following the surgery.. his BS came back in the 300's.. doctor immediately called it borderline diabetes (being as he'd just been through the surgery, and with the fever that went with the pneumonia, I was shoving all kinds of frozen fruit bars into him to bring down the fever).. So.. he went on "watch" for diabetes.. When it still fluctuated after the stuff was all gone.. he received the glucometer and a visit from a nurse to get him set up.. She suggested we might want to try controlling with diet alone.. and if we could keep him in "tight control" by diet.. we could forgo pills... Tight control then was 127.. We/I counted his carbs rather than the exchange methods of old... and until we separated he remained under tight control and without pills.. not sure what happened after I was gone, but he now takes pills to control... Even if nobody can decide whether you are or you ain't.. if they get you a glucometer and you test regularly.. you can probably take and keep control with diet alone.. being as there are differing opinions about having and not having.. And I personally would recommend the counting carbs method, as opposed to exchanges.. it's easier to get & keep control that way.. not to mention it seems you get way more to eat by counting carbs.. LOL and I'm all for eating!!! HUGS |)onna Pain still there.
