I am alive!
So I have
had another session of doing all the requirements for being a Diabetic on the
managed health care programme the CDE.
I have been
to the Dietitian, the podiatrist, the ophthalmologist and had the vampires test
my blood.
What have I
learnt from all these visits?
- My employer always jokes that I am worse than my kids when it comes to Doctors appointments but luckily I am the one with the chronic disease and not them. Although he says this there is never any problem with me going so a big thumbs up to awesome employers.
- The Dietitian had nothing new to say except that Sweeto is sugar free and helps make water taste better as I need to drink liters more than I do now. Coffee is made with water isn’t it?
- The podiatrist poked my feet spoke about unrelated things was happy I had hair on my toes and told me to dry between my toes after washing.
- . The ophthalmologist told me my eyes where fine granted I am as blind as a bat without glasses and earned my respect by testing my blood sugar before testing my eyes which is the first time ever someone has done that.
- The HBA1C was good again. Dedicated blood drawers at the labs are far better and painless than a doctor drawing your blood.
All results
from these experts where good. So in summary what I learnt was I have good
employers ,I must drink more water and less coffee, I must make sure I keep the
hairs on my toes, I am not going blinder and I should keep up the good work.
I also
learnt that there are some people with far greater problems Diabetes wise and sadly
they have a lack of willingness to do anything about it.
All the
tests and examinations hopefully will catch anything bad happening before it
gets worse.
Thanks to
the professionals that-
Look at stinky feet all day long
That gaze
into a strangers eyes day in and day out
That try endlessly to change lifelong bad eating habits
That do something as accurate and dangerous as drawing a vile of blood.
Here goes
to another 32 years of living life with Diabetes.
