I have diabetes. I also had a
hysterectomy. My heart does alot of jumping around on occasion. Feels real close to the end sometimes. Went to the emergency once, and they made me wait, and once the doctor saw me and heard what my heart was doing, he said, "It's not supposed to be doing that." and immediately put me in a room with IV's and monitors and all sorts of things. Gave me
magnesium IV's and who knows what else. But I am willing to bet he does not make anyone else wait while he goes to eat, after what he found my heart doing. I now take, or am supposed to take "Metoprolol". Really works wonders for my heart. I take several other things, but
Diovan (with a water pill included?) is another pill for the high blood pressure. For Diabetes I take
Metformin and
Glipizide. But I am really going to look into that Book people are
talking about on the Diabetes Discussion/Group. I seem to think it sounds like the thing I need to pay attention to. Nothing else works. When I was
walking and eating wisely, I dropped weight and I stopped the meds and I was having trouble with my BGlucose dropping all of the time. Needless to, I have gone off the good meal plan and returned to eating whatever. Not meaning pies and cakes and junk food, but on occasion. I just mean, wise portions and healthy. Post again, how are you doing? I took about 8 weeks to feel a little better from the
hysterectomy.
