Sleep Apnea........gone! (Hopefully). A1C (Diabetes...gone?)

[CoolBreeze 154]

Well went to see primary doctor and had blood drawn for the A1c test. My b/s levels have ranged between 77 & 117. Haven't gone over the 117 mark in about 2 1/2 months. Hopefully that's a good sign.

I am about to go to spend the night in the hospital to find out if I no longer have to share my bed with a mask and a hose....alas

C-pap machine. Gonna be 'wired' so the tech can monitor my every sound (oh joy ). Hopefully I can give them back their machine and wave bye-bye to it as I leave....sorta.

Has anyone else had to do the sleep study to 'officially' be declared sleep Apnea(less)?

Plus, my primary said I only have to take my blood pressure meds for a while longer but not all the rest of those meds. My wallet thanked her a lot.

I asked my doc's assitant if she'd take this for me.

sleep APNEA UPDATE...

Went to my primary on Monday to check the numbers for diabetes and blood pressure. And got results back this morning. Here they are...couldn't have asked for better results Glucose 132; A1C 6.3; Diabetes under excellent control: don't need to restart meds. Bless the name of Jesus! My lipids: Cholesterol 166; (normal range less than 200); HDL cholesterol 56 (normal range greater than 40). LDL cholesterol 91; (Normal range less than 100). Triglycerides 95 (normal range less than 150). Doc wants me to reduce the Fat in my diet...(take it to around 20g or less a day - that's right around where my WLS doc wants it too, which is about 5g a meal (minus the 'snacking), sure hope the food still taste good. Hey numbers like these (that are foreign to me) I'll do it to bring the them down even more. Well - I still have sleep Apnea but NOT as bad as I did Pre-Op so my Pulmonary doctor is encouraged that as more time passes I could be off (completely) the c-pap by early next year...YES! I still snore but not like I use to (whew). I don't frequent the bathroom like I use to go like EVERY 90 minuets. She would like it if I did not go at all during sleeping time - not too sure about that Doc, not with all the liquids (a half gallon) we drink in a day.
