quick post, jerry went to endocrinologist today, figured a change in insulin might help. so he will continue ONE shot of lantus in the AM and if needed a sliding of Humulog in place of humulin R .. turns out the humulinR for him is working like a long acting too, instead of quickly. We will watch and see if it makes a difference. Also found out jerrys feeling full and backed up to the chin might be from gas produced by the carbs sitting in his stomach. OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
the swelling of his feet!!! its from NOT ENOUGH PROTEIN!!! so he did get after MR JERRY for loving those carbs (oatmeal and grits!!) lol. so we will see how jerry reacts and if his actions show improvement.

Today is 20th, Jerry is down to 25mg of Methadone (started at 100mg). He is doing really good. He is still having problems keeping bloodsugar in range. His gastroparesis flares up and he either cant eat when hes supposed to or eats when hes not because hes hungry. Kind of a toss up. i did get a note in mail about an insulin pump supposedly you can eat or not eat and still keep levels good?? we will have to discuss that one with doc! Just wanted to update the drop in meds! hes coming along well!
