Health update

My ankle's recovering from the successful operation right on schedule. A bit of torn cartilage was removed, along with some of the inflamed lining of the joint. My left knee was also injured in the same fall - probably another bit of damaged cartilage. According to the physio it's not an urgent problem, and may in fact right itself given enough time.

I'm now on a second diabetes medication, Diamicron, which seems to be doing its job of working with Diabex (plus my low GI diet and exercise) to bring my blood sugar levels back down to the healthy range.

I am, as usual, knackered. *blear*

I found diamicron worked very well at controlling blood sugar, but caused me to gain weight. So I'm off it at the moment, but I think likely to go back on to it soon.

Diamicron...sounds like the Transformer who works in a jewelry shop or some such. Odd.


So, how long before you start developing the gold dust allergy, anyway? :)
