Medical Problems

Post by The Yosemite Bear »

For those of you who knwo me yeah, I am getting worse, I have another Dr.'s appointment next week, my diabetes has reduced my discionmaking process expecially combined with my bi-polar tendances, I have little if any energy, and life sucks right now.

I am sorry for letting down my friends.

Just take care of yourself, and screw the rest Colin.

This is an internet board, your health is more important than anything else. I hope I see you back here and posting as soon as you can.

Take care of yourself.

You haven't let anyone down! It's your damned health! I'm sure I'm speaking for almost everyone, if not everyone, when I say all we want is for you to get better!
Your performance on the board be damned, it's a very small thing to be worried about when you've got this riding you!

Keep us informed, we're rootin' for ya. :wink:

It wasn't your fault. Take better care of yourself, and you'll be better. Do what you have to do: your health is more important than your performance on this board.

Have a very nice day.

Hells, Colin, I don't give a flying fuck what you've done, or whether it's your fault you're sick or not. Just take care of yourself, y'hear?

Questions:

1. Type 1 or Type 2 diabetic?

2. How well is your blood sugar controlled?

3. How have your A1C's been?

4. Do you have to use insulin, or are oral meds enough?

Just curious, as I'm coming up on the 2 year mark since being diagnosed myself (Type 2, last 3 A1C's have been 6.5 or lower, blood sugar normally 100's to 120's, occasionally to 90's; would dip lower, but they took me off Glucovance and put me on straight Metformin). That was fun, actually: 2 days after Thanksgiving, on a whim, my diabetic mother-in-law had me test myself, and I was off the scale of her meter (it tops out at 600 for blood sugar levels), with my first A1C coming it at 14. Then the same day I'm officially diagnosed, 5 days later, I'm laid off from my job. Merry Fucking Christmas was the phrase for that year...

I did not know your diabeties had taken a turn for the worst. Wishing for the best. Do you have decent health insurance through your union?

My old boss yelled at me for not having insurance after my layoff, so I went to Kaiser today to sign up for the personal plan. I will figure out how to pay later.

You know Bear, I haven't been around here much lately, so I don't know what (if anything) happened, but I can say that you're one of the few people here that could burn this place down to fucking ground and still be loved. I wouldn't give a second thought to it. Take care of yourself, because we need the Bear! Who else can confuse everyone with talk of punch cards?
