Yeah I know but the person I was talking to never shuts up, I can tell him I have to go but he just keeps on talking, then he has me checking on websites and all that then I have to call him back and I just got distracted and forgot all about it because I couldn't wait to get to bed.

Things have been going well. Staying on a schedule is difficult but then I think of the members here that are on dialysis and I realize how simple I have it in comparison to them.

Hey Sluff, how are your numbers doing?  You know we all want you to take good care of yourself!   How is Christy?  Tell her "hi" for me.  You have to stay healthy so we can all get together again next year!

Still working on them paris. Thanks for asking, we should try and get together twice a year. Once on the eastern side of the US and then once in Vegas or Cali.

Things are going well. I missed my first dose of Lantus Friday night because I was on the phone at the time I usually take it. I thought about it while I was on the phone but forgot when I got off the phone. My sugars are still upper 200's but I'm gradually upping the dose of lantus until we get a reading of 150 or less. After we reach that goal then we will adjust the novolog.


???

i found myself missing doses of medication so since i'm never without my cell phone (even though none of you ever call, pooh!) i set the alarm on it to remind myself. it does work, haven't missed a dose in quite a while

Like many others, in hindsight, we see how we could have avoided our present situation if we had been just a bit more compliant.  So, Sluff, we love you so much.  PLease care yourself.  You are not on dialysis yet.  Keep your diabetes under control, as well as your diet.
The diet coke contains lots of phosphorus, but I don't know if that is a problem for you right now.
Be careful with the glucophage, etc.  you should have regular kidney monitoring with these kinds of drugs.
Sluff, you have an entire international community rooting for you! :grouphug;

Bajanne said it so well.  We all love you and want you to have the absolute best health you can have.  So, if we keep bugging you, it is just because we care so much! :grouphug;

update: 

BP readings have been around 160's over 86-98 which is still high but a lot better than what they used to be and no more consistent headaches.

BS readings have been anywhere from 136 - 180 again not perfect but a lot better than 400's.
