I can remember when I couldn’t wait to get out of bed in the morning. At night time I wouldn’t want to go to bed. Lately, I wake up in the morning and I have no energy, most every day with a low grade fever. I have been having problems with my transplanted kidney and in effort to figure out why my transplanted kidney isn’t functioning properly the Dr’s noticed that my iron was crazy low. So, for the past 3 weeks I have been going to NCH Hospital in Naples to get iron infusions, I have my last infusion next week for a total of four Iron infusions. One of the symptoms of low iron is lack of energy and I was hoping that these infusions would help me get back some energy, but not so much. I have also dropped a couple/few pounds over the past couple months. I hit an all time low of 112lbs this week. I think that my be due to lack of apetite as well. My appetitie is strange, I usually don’t want to eat during the day but come 6:00PM I get hungry. I generally am in bed by 9PM, so I do not like eating at night because it raises my blood sugar and I have to guess at how much insulin I need to take while I sleep and digest my food. I usually end up waking up in a sweat with low sugar or my sugar is off the charts. I have a new Glucose meter (Dexcom 6) that is terrific, it has a transmitter on my body that checks my sugar every 5 mnutes and sends it to my iphone. Ever since I started using thIs Dexcom 6 I have been able to regulate my glucose Better than ever and highly recommend anyone with diabetes get one. That’s all my complaining for today. ;)

I am such a happy camper!
