Dr. Appointment

Hubby woke up this morning with bad muscle cramps in his calves. He had the day off today so I called and got him in to see the doctor today instead of waiting until Monday. If the medicine has not worked yet it will not start working over the weekend! So he went and the doctor doubled his medicine and he does not seem worried, he thinks things look good. I don't know how since his numbers are the same as they have been since the last visit, but who am I and what do I know? He also explained that the muscle cramps are just because his body is going through a lot right now and that his potassium levels are fine so it is not that.

My husband works crazy hours and work swing shifts from time to time. This seems to have an effect on his sugar, because when he does not have to be up at 3:30 in the morning his sugar is much lower. So the doctor said he will keep that in mind while adjusting his meds. We don't want him to bottom out. So all in all not a bad visit, I just hope that the medicine will work. He does not go back for a month. That seems so far away. But hopefully a lot changes between now and then! In the mean time I do need to set up appointments with the foot doctor and eye doctor. So we will def be busy with appointmens!
