Good morning folks, thankyou once again for your concern and wishes. Got an appointment with eye clinic at noon, lets see what`s going on hopefully just a glitch. Speak with you later, take care my friends.
 
Keeping fingers crossed that it is a minor issue that can be easily remedied. Good luck
 
Hi Ted, how are you today?
 
Hello Amanda thanks for asking, went to the eye clinic yesterday and have got to see the specialist. She wouldn`t tell me too much although she did ask how I was feeling and how my BGL`s are behaving. Just got to wait for an appointment, she said it will be within the next week. I feel better but right eye is blurry and painful, and my feet are extremely painful but it won`t stop me going out and living.:D

Hope you get the appointment through quickly Ted 🙂
 
Thanks Alan, they`ve just rang me got to go in tomorrow lunch time. Give me chance to do my laundry,🙄 also back to the hospital on Friday morning to see Diabetes specialist and DSN, here`s hoping.
 
Ted I'm so sorry to hear that you've got these problems but well done you for your positivity. I'm glad that your appointments are coming through so quickly and I hope that the issues can dealt with relatively easily xx
 
Afternoon Ted, good to get the prompt appointment, looks like “they’re” on your case and it will be good to go over things Friday with DSN and consultant. Sounds like a week of hopefully getting to the bottom of what’s going on. Hanging on waiting for appointments is never pleasant. Looks like a good day out there for getting that laundry dry too🙂
 
Glad to hear that you have got the appointment through, but sorry things are still troubling you.
It sounds as if you are in safe hands. Take care and let us know how it goes tomorrow.
 
Thankyou my friends, left eye is playing up as well. Took some of the kids to the fair, I think Arnie was there as we all ended up on the Terminator.😱:D
 
Good luck at hospital tomorrow,will be thinking of you

Hope things improve very soon
 
Good luck for the appt today, Ted!
 
Hello folks got back from the hospital @ 4 pm, they took my blood pressure first, 213 over 116, pulse rate 109.😱 They wanted to admit me but I wasn`t having any of it, they laid me down for two hours and put some drops in my eyes. Blood tests proved I had very low testosterone levels, also Retinopathy in the right eye and background in the left.🙄 Also looks like I have Arthritis in the left & right side of my eyes,:D can`t wait until tomorrow, hopefully the DSN will sit on my lap and the Consultant will sit on my head.😱:D Take care my friends speak with you tomorrow.😛
 
Blooming heck Ted! Those results are not good at all. I hope your BP was down quite a bit before they allowed you out. I can understand you not wanting to be admitted but maybe that would allow them to stabilise things a bit rather than the way you have been Yo-Yoing recently. Do take it easy at home and I hope you have better news tomorrow from the DSN and consultant.... Do ask about a Libre if they don't mention it.
We are all very concerned about you and those results do nothing to abate that!! Take care
 
Hi folks spent two hours with Specialist/DSN,😎 they asked me too test as soon as I went in, 3.9 not a problem but to them it was.😳 Asked me too eat 4 JB`s, 4 glucose tablets a bacon sandwich curry fried rice a pepperoni pizza and a Lidl`s non alcoholic beer.:D All joking aside being put forward for a Libre with alarms, possible pump but she doesn`t think it would suit me at the moment. DSN checked my injection points and was aghast at the amount of bruises on my body, I don`t fall over that much "some days" but back to the GP:( for looking at. Thankyou folks for your concerns, I love you all please take care of yourselves I am always thinking of you.🙂
