We've decided as a family to move house, we've been wanting to since the pandemic and finally we're going to go for it. From where to where?

My blood sugar dropped into the low 50’s yesterday morning and I tried raising it by eating a bag of peanut m&m’s, a chocolate chip cookie and a protein bar. But it only raised it to 89 before dropping again an hour later. Even though I had an appointment with him today we called my endocrinologist and he had me come in yesterday.
He changed my insulin dose and said if it happens again drink juice and eat and call him. And not to worry even if it gets up to 250 because he would rather it be high over it being to low in the 50’s because when it’s low like that I get blurry vision and light headed. Actually that happens to me if it drops below 80. But he says I have a condition that because I had such a high count for so long that my system considers an 80 like a 60. But it will eventually correct itself. He also noticed a very slight swelling in my legs and thinks we need to change the dosage of my blood pressure medication, but is holding off on that until I see the cardiologist and sees what he thinks. And then I see him again in two weeks.
And yesterday my mother-in-law called the cardiologist office to see if they had any cancellations to see me sooner. They just called back and said they can see me tomorrow at 1:50 instead of Monday. So hopefully we’ll know more then.

We've decided as a family to move house, we've been wanting to since the pandemic and finally we're going to go for it. From where to where? We live in Glasgow, right in the heart of the city. So we’re looking at moving to a place called Dumbarton, about 30 minutes drive away which is a lot quieter, my mums family live down there so she’d like to be closer to them.

That's great that the cardiologist can see you tomorrow - hopefully it'll go well for you!

So in the last two days my endocrinologist has cut my insulin dosage from 200 units a day (100 morning & 100 night) to 50 units each. Then when he called me back this afternoon when I left a message saying my blood sugar was between 60-126 all morning without the insulin he said just 45 units at night from now on because I have been eating better since I saw him in March so the higher dose of insulin was making my blood sugar too low. So that was a nice turn of events.
And there was a cancellation at the cardiologist’s so I got to see him today instead of waiting until Monday. He confirmed Sunday wasn’t a heart attack. And then he took his own EKG and said he doesn’t think it’s too serious from what he can tell now. But he did up my dosage of blood pressure medication and added a half of another pill daily to help with the slight swelling in my legs from the blood pressure medication.
Then I have to get an echocardiogram which is booked until Aug 14, CAT scan and more blood work. The blood work will be done on July 3 when I see my Endocrinologist again. And the CAT scan needs to be done between now and Aug 14 when I am back in his office for the echocardiogram.
But I guess all in all it was a good day. Definitely much better than it was playing out in my head that’s for sure. lol

My music video film got selected for a festival. I’m excited to get the ball rolling. Now, I just wish to get my health in order. Happy for everyone here as well.

Was far too tired for work today so I phoned in sick, I so rarely do it that I forgot I could. Was needed. Nice day of rest.

Despite being on crutches for the last week and not being able to do any lengthy walks, I've still managed to lose weight this week rather than put it on.

Saw a fisher cat yesterday morning on the way to work. Saw 2 turtles on the trail & a garter snake on my front deck this morning.
