Hello again.
Saw the thread needed changing so thought I'd step in and do it. I won't tell you how far back I had to go to copy/paste again.
Somebody asked about shorts/swimsuits. NO, absolutely NOT!!! My thighs are as big as a house. I did find some denim leggings type capris last summer and did wear those to a picnic. And I do have a couple pair of shorts that I will don while in the house. But I do not wear them even out to get the mail!!
I have a question for any of my medical lovelies: What do you know about Insulin Resistance and the drug Glucophage???? My doc said my sugar was up a bit in the last two blood workups. She mentioned that she thought I might be Insulin Resistant. She said she wanted to put me on Glucophage. She said that it was not something I would necessarily have to take forever, that with diet and exercise I may be able to quit at some point.
I am a bit miffed because when I saw the eye doctor, he said "being diabetic, you really should have your eyes examined once a year to make sure that your retinas are not being affected by the diabetes."
Then I saw my GYN on Tuesday and of course I took her my blood reports and what drugs I'm taking and she mentions, "with your diabetes.....".
Now the first doc who did the blood work and put me on the stuff, never said I was diabetic, she said Insulin Resistant. Are they one in the same? Do I have to watch out for the same things diabetics have to watch for? Do my kids now have to say their mother is diabetic when they fill out a medical history sheet? She never mentioned cutting down on sugars or carbs.
I know I have to place a call to her and ask these same questions, but I thought I would pose it here too. Thanks in advance for any comments.
Deb: Glad you found us. I'll be waiting for that recipe. I've been using the microwave popcorn, but if I can use up the bag of regular stuff I have in the pantry that will be a real plus.
Barb: I'm glad about your eyes. That's a real plus. * At first I thought my son would be embarassed that his mommy was sending stuff, but the guys really thought it was cool and even let him out of 'dish duty' or some other chore when my box comes in. So I guess it's all good!
Kat: Glad somebody else gets Bi^c%y in the heat too. But the AC already??? We haven't had a hot day here yet. Not that I'm rushing it, mind you.
Sandy: "The best"???? Oh you make us blush!:;
Connie: Now I'm told "thinking about it" doesn't count! :sarg: You have to actually get on the bike!!!!
Tina: Ummmm, ummmm, girlfriend!
That man of yours looks pretty yummy all dressed up. Better keep an eye on that one!!!!
Well girls, I'm truly not ignoring everyone else. I just have to start getting it back together here somewhere, and this is where I'm starting. Sorry to have missed some of you, but I am trying.
