Hi Everybody I have finally decided to become a part of this GREAT site and make my first post. Ok now my story. I am a Type 2 diagnosed about 2000.
I had maxed out all of the dosage amounts on oral meals that you could take by summer of 2006. I was referred to Endocrinologist Oct. 06 for the purpose of better BG control. I was immediately put on a Lantus injection regimen and also advised (demanded) that I get a Treadmill Stress test done.
I went to one of the local hospitals for the test and was told to come back the following day for a angiogram. I was admitted to the hospital following this procedure after learning that I had a main artery blocked 100% and two other ones at 70%. I had four CABG's the next morning. I am extremely lucky as I had virtually no problems and little pain after the surgery. I am currently in a Cardiac Rehab program and will probably return to work by mid March. I have lost about 30 lbs since the surgery and have BG in good control with a small dose of Humalog with meals and Lantus once daily. I enjoy all of the information and knowledge exchanged here and have looked at many sites and always came back to this one. Thanks Everybody for making this site
possible.  |
