Cycle 5 - Mid-point
ASRB2: 7:5
Echocardiogram results were "as expected", so no changes in medical treatment needed, nor cardiologist visits before the currently scheduled visit in January. Halfway through cardiac rehab as per what insurance will pay for. Results there are good as well.
Blood sugar management has taken an interesting turn. One of my cardiac meds can elevate blood sugar while another can help moderate it. As an experiment this week, I stopped taking my insulin* to see what would happen. My blood sugar went up when I ate, and came back down at a good rate; no major peaks, valleys, or rapid drops. I'm going to continue without insulin and see if that behavior continues. If needed, of course, the insulin is available.
*Note: I am Type II; insulin is not life-or-death for me.
