Wife of a Diabetic

My hubby is a type 2 diabetic of 30 years. He has Gout, HBP, parkinsons, hyperlipidemia, ophthalmic migraines, sleep apnea, spinal stenosis, scoliosis, degeneration of the spine, obesity, & 3 bypasses. His insulin is 5x concentrated over normal doses. No exercise…non-compliant. This blog is a documentary of the progress of his disease....and a place for me to vent, so that I can continue to love and support him. All of my anger goes here. This is not the wife he sees.

Pain

So, the percocet is working. His pain is getting under control which is lowering his glucose, he's moving and feeling better.....even smiling. After 2 months in bed...we are slowly getting back to some type of "normal". And it is great!

But, he also has his his staff in town for a retreat of sorts this weekend and I think that will keep him in good spirits thru Sunday. I'll take what I can get. Monday is the cardiologist.

So far, he has stuck to the Low GI menu which I assume is helping as well.

Amazing how pain can throw a diabetic so far out of whack. Again, that roller-coaster merry-go-round vicious cycle. The more the pain, the more adrenaline, the higher the glucose, the less movement....it just compounds and explodes the problem. Sad that his doctors wouldn't give him any pain meds until after the MRI.

Was a good weekend all-in-all.
