Metformin 250mg 2x daily
After breakfast, took 1 metformin 250mg. Around 11 am plus, I could feel light-headedness, migraine, icy cold hands. I could not concentrate what am doing. OMG!
I've just have to keep track, what to do. Later in afternoon, cant tolerate. Gastric too painful, unexplained extreme tiredness, nausea, light headedness, icy cold hands. Msged Eunice and tried calling her, guess she's on leave today. Paged for Dr Tan, informing him my symptoms which are similar to previous experience. He said it's unusual but consider to continue for another day, if can't tolerate, to call him up again tommorrow and he'll prescribed me back the glipizide (which will make me fat.) He sounded unhappy over the phone. Just like a needle don't have two heads.
I've faxed over my readings and comments to Eunice for her information since advised by her yesterday to keep her updated of any symptoms.
After work, going to see GP. GP also had a patient whom also experienced similar symptoms as I do.

Yesterday happenings
During yesterday appointment, doctor told me he will changed my medication to metformin 250mg instead to be taken twice per day and see how it goes. To aid me in reducing weight since glipizide is 2.5 mg om and it's making me fat.
Waited for nutritionist, Cherry saw me. Wonder if she's from HK, the way her cantonese sounds. I dun like her, whatever she told me differs from other nutritionist whom counselled me. I woke p very early in the morning and almost 11 am plus, getting on my nerves! Saying diabetic jam can put more whereas others say try not to take it often. She dun give me the confidence I should have in her. Her cold soft beverage was on her table even. Atlas, the way she asked me, "you understand or not?" pissed me off very much!
When the session over, she asked my mother what had she done which provoked me. Duhz!

No one understands
When I posted similar posting at my facebook, my overseas friend wrote:
I had 4 fresh kiwifruit in a smoothie and within 12 hours detox stuff came out! I donno why you are on a restricted fruit diet, it is very very obvious to me that your body seems to be highly toxified and needs fresh whole foods - esp fruits and veggies.Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. ... Read MoreIf all those experts cant help you you gotta start getting more knowledge and helping yourself, girlfriend!Step by step, whatever you learn becomes yours, no one in the world knows you better than you, or can take care of you better than you, cos no one CAN know you better than you. You owe it to yourself to become your best and your body is feedingback that something needs to change.
How much do they really understand about diabetes, diabetic retinopathy and nutrition. Shared with them, even under normal cicumstances, one should take only 2 servings of fruits per day and not exceeding. Argon laser is just to stabilise my condition and not correcting my vision!!
Whenever I showed mgr the medical certificate from SNEC, mgr will keep asking back the same old questions again:
What is the laser for?
How long need to laser?
Can your eyes take it or not?
How you feel?
I got so feddup that I feel like giving 2 panda eyes!!

Last thurs evening, 20th Aug, went to see GP. Feeling very nausea, dizzy, cough, bodyache, migraine and diarrhea. GP gave me a specimen bottle to collect stool specimen if it's still black and head to A&E straight away. Under normal circumstances, couldn't be black unless taking iron supplement.
Around 11pm, diarrhea again and it's black. Collected specimen & mother brought me to SGH A&E. Doctor said need not go for stool lab test but took my blood instead. Advised me to rest at home and prescribed me some medication, telling me it's virus gastronomy (GP told me this too.).
Luckily, there's 2 cabs at blk 4 outside 24 hrs Cheers, reached home at 2 a.m. and smsed mgr about on medical leave on friday, 21 Aug. Afraid I couldn't wake up early to call or sms him.
On 21 Aug, fri, received sms from mgr at 5.05 pm asking me what's happen.
Over the weekends, I was staying at home resting. So weak, unable to sleep well, kept on having dreams, tossing in bed, migrain, nausea and dizziness. Enough of these!!
Back to work today, only to read mgr's email timed 12.30 pm asking me wonder why I didn't report for work. Don't tell me, whole of friday morning and afternoon, he didn't on his handphone?

Ended up having instant noodles and wheat cracker
Really dunno what to eat, ended having instant noodles & 1 wheat cracker for lunch and took a nap. This morning, waited for Jiahui to do UAT but later she was at console calling our team up to meet her downstairs. When we reached there, she left us to do by ourselves saying that she showed my colleagues how to do it on the day when I was on medical leave - tues. We waited for half an hr, no news of her, we decided to go back to our office to work on requests. Am so tired.
3 pm plus in the afternoon, ate 3 pieces of munchy cheese biscuits, apple pear fruit, milo with oatmeal and 1 diabetes blueberry sweet. Now yearning to have some chocolates. Neck uncomfortable.
Called mother up to learn that there's a big lump on the front of her neck. She wanted to tell me last night but slipped her mind. Worried for mother thou there's no pain when she pressed on it.
Dunno why there's blood when my last period day ended just previous week. Am very frustrated right now...procrastinating...
Argh...am whacking on mini chocos and 3 cappucino mini biscuits, quaker cereals and big sheet seaweed. Terrible!!
-_-!!

40 mins physiotherapy last night
Yesterday night, started on my physio regimen at 8.40 p.m which lasted 40 mins. OMG! Seems like muscle no strength, cause I could feel my leg shaking when the 2.5 lbs weight on my ankle. Almost did the whole set of it. After that, feel refresh though am tired out.
Had, 3 pieces of munchy choco biscuits, 4 slices of roasted seaweed, 5 macademia nuts, 10 bites of popcorn & 1 piece of praline. Oh dear... Am getting fatter each day. Very upset about it.
While am on it, ringing sound in my ear again, very disturbing. Battery died down & I couldn't play music. Difficulty falling asleep though I tried deep breathing.

GF's new shop
This morning, learnt that gf opened another shop yesterday but this time it's 'fashion harbour' at midpoint orchard. Wow! how I envy her. Few months back, she had another jewel shop opened at suntec.
Wish I had a head for business too besides having the capital means to do it. If there's opportunity, would like to have my own food business too.
Happy for her.

Over the weekends
Woke up at 9 am on sat morning, went to ladies and get onto bed again. Later to find myself waking up in the afternoon. I was very sleepy, dizzy, having dry mouth and ringing sound & pressure on my right ear. Dreams came again...Oh dear.
Dinnertime, mother wanted me to finish up the fish chicken & vegetables, saying I need more nutritious food. I'm already very full.
Woke up even later on sun's afternoon. Wonder what to do, it was raining and there's nothing much tv programmes to watch either. Intended to go Sheng Shiong for window shopping but there's heavy downpour. Dampen my mood even further. Nausea and diarrhea in addition bodyaching and dizziness. Aww... I hate this kinda feeling.

Fri appt at SNEC
Last fri 14th Aug 09, was at SNEC, appt with Dr Bobby. While waiting for my turn at the laser centre, I was very anxious but it wasn't my 1st time having laser done. I used the breathing technique which Kevin taught me but it didn't help. Thoughts are racing in my mind.

No appetite and grouchy
This morning, woke up at 7 a.m feeling very grouchy and wanting to have more sleep. Feeling very headache & giddy too besides the sharp pressured ringing sound on my right ear.
Called up central appointment this morning and was told there's no earlier date available. Hmm..forget about it then. Anyway, tomorrow going to SNEC for eye laser and inform Dr Bobby about my tinnitus too.
Am like procrastinating today, very sleepy and not much appetite. Going to make instant porridge instead and take a nap. Hopefully, to wake up fresh later on.

Companion for lunch
As I was approaching canteen, saw Dolly and waved to her "Hi". Dolly said she'll joining me for lunch. I ordered char siew wanton kway teow soup $2 and she had western food - brunch set.
Initially, Dolly wanted me to join her and her friend at the table near the canteen entrance but I just don't want to. Those bowl collector aunties and uncles kept laughing out loud and said I looked like one of the actress. I was wearing my cap and jacket. I hate those gossiping thou am not biased against their job. The way they laughed really pissed me off! I just wanna have my lunch peacefully.
Dolly talked to me lotsa things and even quote incident to caution me of people around me. She was afraid I lunch alone but it's really fine with me. I dislike crowds and talking over the meals. Dolly even said I lost a lot of weight compared to last time. Hmm...but I gained a lot of weight.

Hurting ownself?
On sunday night, couldn't sleep well. Sub-consciously, I could feel that I was pulling my hair hard, screaming out loud, tossing in bed and poked myself with my fingernail on thigh. The next day, I was very dizzy & headache.
Visit to Apex Harmony Lodge on Sat
Managed to get Jason whom is my cab driver to work to drive us to Apex Harmony Lodge as it is a long journey from home. Dad couldn't recognise me as I was wearing mask. Took out my mask when we're sitted at the lounge near dad's ward.
Elated to see dad though he slimmed down a lot. Bought him his favourite food and seeing him enjoying it. When it's time to leave, I was too emotioned & broke down hugging daddy, telling him how much I missed him.
Jason waiting outside already, while inside, my tears rolled down once again. No appetite to eat anything after that.

What to eat for lunch?
No idea what to have for lunch today. Went to have vegetarian meal take-away and dine in front of laptop. Don't feel like eating and filling already. Just ate a bit and took a nap. Am so sleepy and dizzy today. Heavy menstrual and cramps. Sighz..
Agitatated and broke down
End of Jul and early Aug, felt very agitated and broke down few times already. I missed my daddy who is in Apex Harmony Lodge, planned to visit him tmr since there's holiday and I can rest on sun and mon too.
At times, feel very disheartened. As if wasting time and money to go for all treatment and how long it gonna take me to recover? I hate feeling lethargic all the time and seeing GP most of the time for common ailments. I'm fortunate to have DNE Eunice who gives me emotional support. Appreciate her help in one way or another.
DNE Eunice told me that am a good role model for other diabetes patients. Oh my! haha...ok. I monitor my own blood glucose & blood pressure and most important, I exercise and eat wisely. Cut away sweet stuffs but of course, at times, unable to resist carbo craves like chocolates and sweets suitable for diabetes. I love Ben & Jerry ice cream too.
Wondering when is my rainbow coming out or sun shining to let the flower blooms once again?

What's for lunch?
Wanting to lose more weight, I try taking just instant cup noodles & a small packet of instant oatmeal porridge which are enough to fill me up for lunch. Like breakfast, had 'peng kueh'. After that, had some mini chocolates already which is fatty!
