Went to the MD yesterday. He questioned me in depth about the visit to the hospital ER and said "How the heck did I miss diabetes?" My BS on April 09 was 109, and at the hospital 761.
During our conversation he explained how a viral infection in childhood might be the cause of the diabetes DX.
Turns out that a virus could be cured and still degrade the pancreas over time. That struck a memory from my own childhood. Mom had used the term "bulbar polio" when I was very ill as a child. I remembered that.
So Dr ordered a lab test to test for certain antibodies and the results should be back today.
Fortunately my weight is still down 40 pounds since 280, and I feel sorta OK. My ac Breakfast today was 290. Not bad for an old guy.
Well, gotta go feed the dog.
See you later.
