Re: New to this forum

thanks fopr the updates. Sorry his vision loss isn't correctable just stoppable.

of course he will be on track with his blood sugars from now on as he wants to be around to grow old with his hot little wife!

He has a very good attitude 2big. There is always someone who is worse off! Right!

hot little wife ........... I love you! lol lol lol

Re: New to this forum

Thanks for thinking of us 2big!!!

So far he has had two of the lazer surgeries. The next four are the ones to hopefully stop the damage. The first two, plus the steroid injections were to reduce the swelling so he can proceed with the next four.
His vision will not improve, this is a damage is done thing. But, he is hoping he can stop anymore vision loss.

We have not had a sugar "up" in several weeks! I am so proud of him. He is 100% with his diet and exercise.

Wishing you and DH the best with the next surgeries.

And good going with the sugar levels

Good going, you Hot Bad Girl!!

Re: New to this forum

how is it going this month? did the damage get stopped witht the eye surgeries?

Re: New to this forum

time will tell. He had another "large" surgery on Friday and it was tough. We have to wait till September for the final two, healing time between now and then. He has lost more of his vision, we can only hope that the healing will bring some back. I guess it is a trade off. Lose some vision to try and save some.
Numbers are still real good still but he is going through, from what I understand is normal, depression and of course all the meds are making it very frustrating for him. The BP meds make him lathargic. Hopefully with time he will feel better.

Re: New to this forum

glad he is getting things fixed. Eatting Atkins and lowering his blood sugar hasn't helped his BP?

Re: New to this forum

He is due back at the primary care physician this month........ so we will get new tests and numbers at that point. A1C, BP etc etc etc.

Re: New to this forum

does the doc treating his BP have him monitoring it at home? if not he should so they can see better cause if he is stressed in the office it could be high and not fairly represent what itis doing the rest of the time between visits.
