I send good thoughts for a good outcome for her.

suri called me two days ago and yesterday. she said they weren't able to get all the cancer out and there were three spots on her lungs which could have been caused by her breathing. she is having radiation and chemo but no radiation for her lungs. we talked for a long time. she said she didn't want to burden anyone. I said it was love and not a burden. I am so upset.
for the past while I haven't felt like going to the senior center. I have been so tired. I am going to the pdoc today and the eye doctor tomorrow. suri made me feel better when she said you just don't go blind overnight from diabetes. I go tomorrow to the eye doctor/http://diabetesupdate.blogspot.com/2008/06/how-long-does-it-take-to-develop.html

are you taking met formin or glucophage? or both? Some times people have to take 2-3 different pills to get their blood sugars down. They usually draw your A1c blood test to check your blood sugars every 3 months. You could ask what this number is for you. It should be less than 6.5. It is a much better indicator of how your blood sugars have been than a one time check for a fasting blood sugar.

i take metformin twice a day and i think my a1c is just below 6.5. I don't have much carbs. I used to have glimneride(sp) too but he took me off that

wonder why he took you off of that?

Guessing as her blood sugar readings or A1C they decided she didn't need more than the metformin

I hope the chemo and radiation help… Suri will be in my prayers

thank you so very much

I am sorry for suri, I hope she is not suffering physically or mentally.

Tell Suri

We are all praying for her. This really was one of the things that
helped me when I had my last scare with cancer.
