| 8/25 I have kept silent lately for a reason for the last three months I haven't been feeling well and last Thursday I decided I had to do something and since I couldn't get a hold of my Dr., I went to Urgent Care which is five minutes away from me, I told them I thought I had a Bladder Infection, they did a urine sample, the Dr. came in to see me and I was shocked at what she told me: " You have Diabetes 2 , your sugar level in your urine is 500, they took a three month test and it came back my sugar level reading was 250 ! She put me on a drug called Metformin 500 MG, I have to take it twice a day, when I did a read out myself at the beginning my reading was 350 ! as of this morning it's 186 ! now I have to get it down to 100...Also I have to eat differently, eliminate all the bad carbs, check myself twice a day.....I already lost 3 lbs Yeah ! Cheers............Joe...... |

| Scarey stuff. Great that you are following the prescription - sometimes a lifestyle change is enough and the meds can taper off. |

| 8/25 I just talked to my niece who's 48 and she told me my nephew who's 45 has Diabetes, but he's way over weight, when he was 7 he had major open heart valve surgery plus he had a hole in the heart.... Cheers.Joe................ |

| Good advice from DK & Betty. I think Betty's "PS" windup was spot on.
Today is a big day for me. I'll know after the exam if I will be admitted in the hospital or sent home. I prefer home, however if it is just a delay, then I'd rather get it over with. If I return home, I'll be posting again tomorrow. |
