little improvement
My husband was diagnosed with diabetes 7 months ago. He had lost 60 pounds and was urinating frequently. He is 5'10" and he went from weighing about 195 to 138. He was 40 at the time. When we started testing his levels before he got on meds they were in the 400's often and 560 once. Then we went to the doc. and he was placed on avandia, amaryl, and 3 glucophase a day. He drastically changed his diet. He absolutely ingests no sweets, juices, cokes, etc. Lately every time he tests it is in the 300's, tonight it was 378. He said, "what am I doing wrong." I often wonder if he is actually type 1 instead of type 2. We do not have health insurance. He has seen a P.A. at a clinic two times. He had the 3 month blood level test run the first time he went in. We do not have the finacial resources to attend to this in the way that it seems a must. I feel helpless, and think there is something more I could be doing, but feel uneducated, even though I have worked hard to try to educate myself. Any suggestions?
