More Problems

Okay. This will be long. In April 2008 I was diagnosed Type 2. My A1C was 13.3. My cataract surgery was postponed. Through low carb diet , many meds (eventually up to 1000 metformin am, 1000 metformin pm, actos 30mg am, torsemide, potassium, norvasc, synthroid, baby aspirin), exercise, and losing 60 lbs with sept. a1c at 5.7 and fasting bg at 90 I did have my cataract surgery the end of August.I have just been told to quit all metformin, torsemide and potassium because I have diminished kidney function. I questioned what would happen with my diabetes and their reply was that right now they are more worried about my kidneys. I have a dr. appt on Monday at 4 pm and will need to have ultrasounds, renal specialists and other tests which will be discussed monday.
Does anyone have any encouraging words because right now I feel in the pits.
Barb.
