well best laid plans .... i aimed to post regularly again, but things never seem to go too smoothly. Mid January, my dad ended up in the hospital with Non Hodgkins Lymphoma and at the highest level 4. LUCKILY, this is the rapid one and one that has a 50/50 remission rate. Crossing all fingers, toes ect. Jerry is still doing well. NO PANCREATIC problems at all! we were moving along well with the diabetes as well , but his gastroparesis, seems to want to interfere. It will decide not to dump his food or suddenly to dump it and causes problems with medicating and dosing insulin. but for the most part hes trucking along.. The doctor has decided (endocrinologist) that he should eat anything he wants and just give himself enough humulog to cover it. This was the original thinking of the diabetic nurses we saw before seeing the endocrinologist. didnt like it and it made him sick trying to get in all the food they wanted him too. (he needs some weight on him). but if you eat a high carb meal, and then your stomach decides NOT to empty.. your blood sugar continues to drop and you end up needing sugar. so you have to treat yourself , then of course out of nowhere the stomach decides to dump.. now youre so high its rough getting the blood sugar down. this has been just lately. so i dont think this new eat whatever you want is going to work too well. we shall see.. but for the most part this has still ben the best thing we have ever done!
