I need help, I know that my a1c level has gone down but not enough. 4 months ago it was 12, now 2 weeks ago it was down to 9.8 I know this is still too high. I have tried everything to get it to come down.
Everyone says exercise well I try but it is hard for me to do since I have heart problems and asthma.
I have been waching my diet very carefully but I still can not get my levels to come down.
I have not checked my level in over 3 weeks as I cannot afford to buy the strips for my meter!
I am at my wits end now last time I checked it my level was 419. I know this is way too high. I need some help. I had to make an emergancy visit to dr. 2 weeks ago because I could not breath very well. I was suffering with congestive heart failure. I wonder if my kidneys are functioning properly because of all the swelling.
my husband thinks that I might have had a slight heart attack last tuesday night. I thought I was dying. I need some help here. I have insulin novolog 70/30 and lantus that I take daily. My eyes are getting so blurry now days that it is hard sometimes to focus on anything.
when I pee there is white foamy stuff in the comode, I know that this is a sign of protein in urine.
I am very desperate. A friend suggested that I get some kind of cinnamon pills and take it along with my insulin.
I have a few vials of simulin that my sister in law gave me and I was thinking about taking a little of it to see if it would help get my numbers down.
I can't go to the dr. everytime something comes up because I cannot afford it.
yes I am overweight but I had lost 17 pounds just to have 12 come back in a little over a week. dr. said this is due to fluid retention.
PLEASE someone can you help me out here?
If I do take some of the similin how much? I know I need a dr. to advise on this but how can I if I cannot afford it? I hope someone will understand. I have no insurance , no job and no income except what little my husband brings home and it takes all of it to pay bills, and buy groceries. I mean ALL of it. he just brings home a little over 400.00 2x a month.
Do not qualify for medicade because he is the father of our kids and I am not pregnant. That is what the state tells me anyway. I need help!!
