Definitely falling apart.

This is why I hate going to doctors....just like Bill Cosby said...if you don't go....you don't have it.

So...blood pressure is fine, keep up with the meds.

The lack of sleep, no energy, fuzziness and all that...sleep apnea. I need to have a sleep study done.

And finally...the last nail in the coffin as it were....my blood sugar was 138. Which the reading for a confirmed diabetes diagnosis is only 126. So they want me to go have a glucose tolerance test as well.

So 3 wonderful things that not only mean I am most definitely falling apart, but they'll also keep my bank account running on empty.

This sucks in so many ways. And for the first time in a long time...Im actually scared.

Try not to stress about it Gats. That more then anything will just wear you down more. On a side note...if you have diabetes...can I have your birthday cake ice cream? :P I know...your going to lancer me down for that later tonight...but it was still funny. hehe

Get well Gat and maybe we can trade sleep studies for sleep apnea. Good luck with all. I know how much sleep machines can cost and it ain't purdy, but you do sleep better.

Dude sorry about the health issues. Going to the Doc and taking care of yourself is a good thing, regardless of what Bill Cosby says. :D Also man try adding some exercise into your daily routine, you will find it helps greatly with improving the quality and ease of your sleeping. - BAT

Not trying to rile ya there boss. If your glucose was higher then I would be worried about needing insulin. 138 really isn't that bad of a number. Sometimes it is just a matter of watching your diet as well...eat healthier and what not. My grandmother struggles with it at times too..we try to keep her in the 110-140 range...but she still bounces from the 60's (very scary) to into the 200+. Like I said..try not to stress...I know easier said then done, but emotional strain can cause havoc with your body too.
