Terry - It’s difficult for me to say how it resolved itself. I recall religiously using prepulsid for 8-9 years, and when it was yanked from the market and I was switched to another med, there were periods when I ate without meds. I noticed there was no indication of gastroprohesis. Further testing showed just that - no gastroprohesis.
My BG’s had certainly improved between the time BG meters became available (82?), but my A1C’s back then weren’t exactly anything to write home about (low 7’s). Given that I had become hypo-unaware, this was the level my endo recommended I run at
I appreciate your honestly as well as your sentiments. I also have struggled with understanding and managing diabetes. The first few years were great. I was juvenile. But after I started on my own with my own bills and my own life. It was very difficult. I have always been concerned and aware, but at times possibly not as aware as I should have been. I appreciate what you said. I am worried about kidneys to be honest. It is something one cannot escape. I seem to be at that crossing point perhaps where I have to do something in order to stop something that may or ultimately will if you get my point. Anyways thanks, I wish you well and all the best health and happiness.
Thanks for checking in, @Tom41 and @T1d50plus. I appreciate your remarks.
Better blood sugar numbers is not going to hurt anything, in many cases it can arrest or slow the progression of many secondary complications. Personally, I prefer action over worry.
Oh Terry—This is indeed a moment to celebrate. And I would also like to offer a heartfelt thank you for your compassionate, educational voice here. You have been a boon to so many of us as we arrived, confused and looking for guidance…
Blessings to you and yours, friend!..Judith in Portland…
