Update on my T2D Diabetics

 I had a very mild case of covid-19 in early March 2020. This was before tests were available. I had a cough and was bringing up crap. I was scheduled for a TURP (prostate operation) on 10 March 2020. The RNs were concerned. However, the Surgeon (Urologist) was not and the planned surgery went as planned.

A week later, my Surgeon told me "when I removed most of your prostate, I removed most of your prostate cancer."  Lovely, just fucking lovely!

A couple of month later, my wife told me "you look like you are losing weight!"

I had a MD meeting in July 2020 and it turned out my A1C had dropped from 7.8 to 6.4. My weight had dropped from 288 pounds to 244. Wow! 

Now, I was really fearing my prostate cancer had spread.  This notion ignored the fact that being stuck in the house and loss of appetite, and sense of taste and sense of smell and pure boredom with the food we were eating lead to me rather naturally losing weight.

As of yesterday, my weight was 234 pounds or a lose of 54 pounds since early March 2020!

Sadly, my A1C went up to 7.8. My MD asked me yesterday "Why did this go up?"

I replied "you took me off a diabetic medication and I think this lead to the increase." He could not argue and put me on 1000 mg Metformin in the evening. He mentioned this could cause stomach upset.

Well, I don't think so! I have been taking metformin since 10 May 2004 or about 17 years and 10 days. I got over the metformin induced shits many years ago!

Well, it is 8:08 PM of the day I wrote the above material and the metformin is hanging fire. I'll check this in a couple of days to see if the metformin order finally comes through.

s2 While cooking dinner last night, I forgot to take my evening pills.

21 I suppose spaghetti, garlic bread and a couple of glasses of excellent beer lead to high blood sugars. The good news is those two beers make me not really give a shit...
