Good Lord!!
My old man had a list like that minus the diabetes. Mom’s side had no issues.
I will definitely keep you in my prayers every single night. Already made a note of it.
What’s the A1C..well that’s not my business.
I guess the heart issues cause shortness of breath?
More heart surgery. Good grief.
The liver....let’s hope it’s not C.
Bro, I’ll but blunt with you beause you deserve it.
I’m 5’ 10”, 270 pounds.
Head injury 17 years ago and was home for several years...gained 100 plus pounds.
High was 430. Started losing it 8 years ago...got stuck at 270..
I was a boxer in my late teens and 20s....200 pounds but Solid.
Your post is a wake up call to me to be THANKFUL for what I dont have and to do things to make sure it doesn’t happen!
My kidneys aren’t so great...eGFR is about 70...should be in the 90s. Creatinine a little high.
Let us know how you fare as time goes on...and especially after the surgery.
And yes, no more beer. Please.
>> No more beer.
I used to love the craft beers, but no more as of 10 years ago.
Get your weight under 200 lbs. Make sure you resting BP is under 130/85, and avoid carbs!!
Eat less! You can stave off the appetite with something like a spoonful of almond butter.
If alcohol is a necessity, avoid the sugars. The liver loves to store glycogens which can lead to problems for diabetics.
