There is a lot of work to do in order to stabilize your blood glucose levels. This requires strong willing and determination too.

Diabetes heart problems.

by Jim
(Wilkes-Barre, Pa., U. S. A.)

Shortly after bipass surgery (about one year), I became "pre"diabetic and was put on metfomin, which was working fine with a blood sugar level ranging from 95 to 125.



Then I took a stress test and the MD's mistakenly gave me a double dosae of digoxin to regulate my heart beat and stopped my heart, basically killing me (they said).



As a result, I am now wearing both a defibrilator and a pace maker. Also, I was put on many medications including insulin.


The insulin has caused me to have a huge gut, especially just below the belly button, and I went from a 30 inch waist to a 36 inch waist within three months, and increased the size of my breasts many fold.



I am told this hugh increase is "sometimes normal" by prescribers, and there is "nothing" they can do to relieve it because insulin goes to these two areas. I don't like my pot belly or my woman sized breasts.


Am I stuck with them? Because of the heart problems, I am limited in what excercises I can do. Anyone with suggestions or answers will be greatly appreciated.



About your diabetes and heart problems.

Hi Jim,

I am sorry for all the problems you are going through.
Although you have had bad experience with doctors, still think you should be close to them.

You are seeking solutions from others, but the doctors are those who know your real situation.

Perhaps people will give you answers based on what you say. Perhaps something is missing and will judge wrongly.

Also, never quit the medications your doctors are giving you. If you decide to do so, just consult with them. Or ask them what are the drugs you are taking and what do they do for you and your diabetes and heart problems.

If you decide to go for any additional natural remedy, consult with your doctor to see how you can manage.

At the end I wish you all the best and hope you will pass the difficult moments you are experiencing.
