Ya they didnt want to do a vitrectomy because it also induces cataracts. So different procedure. Im done and back and nice and groggy from the anesthesia. And have the biggest eye patch ever.

Also pars plana vitrectomy with gas tamponade sounds like some kinda fancy michelin star gastronomy dish.

Glad you are good bro, eye shit is scary. When do you get to open the eye and see if you can see?

Yesterday my blood sugar dropped to 70 mg/dL. Not unheard of, I just deal with it. Then I Woke up at 230am feeling like shit. Blood sugar was 61mg/dL. Had to message the doc today and he took me off glimepiride.

The upped dose of ozempic hit me like a ton of bricks.

Since you have diabetes do you react abnormally to low blood sugar? My fasted blood sugar is about 70 most of the time I think. 61 seems low for anybody.

Hunter gatherers have a fasted blood sugar of 70 to 85 mg/dl so that's probably the optimal range. 50 to 70 is normal for someone fasting or in a real keto diet.
Some people even go through their daily life at 30 mg/dl.

The issue is that ketoacidosis can be fatal, you're not supposed to feel bad at low blood sugar, it's even rather the opposite, you experience increased energy and mental clarity. If you feel like shit it can be ketoacidosis which is immediately life threatening. So contacting a doctor was probably the smart move

No research but based on how the wife has felt, if you're accustomed to a higher blood sugar, big drops can seriously fuck you up even if the drop still leaves you at a higher than normal level.

So today I am declaring a victory for my kidneys... 3 months post the most recent tumor ablation, and 6 months post the first ablation... Got an MRI last week :
KIDNEYS/PROXIMAL URETERS: No hydroureteronephrosis.
  • Interval ablation of the left upper renal mass. No suspicious enhancement in the 2.9 cm ablation cavity to suggest residual viability. Thin rim enhancement around the cavity represents post ablation change.
  • Slightly decreased size of the right mid ablation cavity. No internal enhancement.
IMPRESSION:
  1. Successful interval ablation of the left upper renal mass. No evidence of residual viable tumor.
  2. Decreased size of the right renal ablation cavity without evidence of recurrent tumor.
  3. No findings of metastatic disease in the abdomen.

Yeah I mean being diabetic my fasting glucose is higher than that. When it swings that low I definitely feel it - usually I get light headed, little cold sweats and my mind immediately switches to 'must engorge on food to survive.'

When it happens during the day I just eat a banana or something but having it to that low while I'm asleep is really dangerous.

Also don't want your sugar to yo-yo too much as that's not good for you.

Typical fasting for me is around 110 or so.
