Allen Cash's living with Diabetes

D-Rex Update 10/14/2016 Good AM/Pm all, Well it looks like all my bloodwork was great and even my A1C is still perfect. D-Rex has reduced my Metformin to 2 pills a day and he is also taking me off the Invokana and replacing it with Jardiance due to my insurance won't pay for the invokana anymore. He was not as harsh with me about my weight which may be because I did not try to bullshit him on the reasons why. I find no reason to dance around an issue. Better to face facts and then move forward.  I spoke with him about my right arm and he is sure it's a rotary cuff issue. I will be doing these exercise for the next few months to see if that works and if not he says he will give me a shot of cortisone. The chronic diarrhea issue is due to the Metformin apparently and so he is adding a med called Welchol. He says it will help with both my blood sugar and my diarrhea problem. So things are looking better as far as my Diabetes...

Eye is healing and A1C is rockin. 10/12/2016 Greetings all, Well so far my eye is doing much better. My vision is still not great but the pain is no longer an issue. I'm still pissed I was not given a heads up on how bad it was going to get but I will deal with that soon. I don't want to be a difficult person but....I can  not deal with unprofessional people. Anyway... My A1C was good again. based off my blood work last week. It was 5.97 so I am pretty happy about that. The rest of my blood work looked good as well. At least I think so. I have a appointment with D-Rex in the morning so I will get more information about the aspects of the blood work I don't understand. Oh and get yelled at about the weight gain. :) I want to talk with him about my right arm issues and stomach issues. From the top of my shoulder to my elbow I've been dealing with pain. I don't think it's the muscle but I just don't know. It hurts to reach back or apply any pressure to tha...

OUCH! 10/3/2016 Okay... just a update with my eye issue. Last Friday I went in to have another session of laser therapy on my left eye due to bleeding. As usual they put use a few eye drops and two shots in my eye. Not a fun day I can tell you. After about 20 min. they took me into the room where he does the laser work. One of the shots he gave me numbed my eye as well as all around my eye. I was not able to open or close my eye. The laser time was not painful of course but it just felt so weird. It was kind of cool. However.. once the numbness worn off... the pain came with  VENGEANCE! I spent 2 and a half days in bed. I tried to sleep through most of the pain. I've had this procedure done once before and it was never as painful as this one. Right now my vision is clearing up a little bit and the swelling is going down enough to open my left eye a bit more. The pain has decreased a great deal. Saturday night the pain was so bad I almost ask Dale to take me to the ER but I toug...
