Looks like we're going to watch and wait a while longer. My "official" (from a real lab, not a glucose monitor) fasting blood sugar was 104, and A1c was 6.0. Dr. says "Keep up the diet and exercise,...
Thanks, everyone. Your responses have been helpful. Lanie, My doctor did indeed tell me to exercise, watch my diet, lose weight, and come back in six months. This was because of several high fasting...
My fasting blood sugar has been running a little high (120) for a while now, and I'm seeing the Dr. next week. I expect he'll want me to try some medication, and I really don't know what that...
Post op PSA of zero on Nov 3, and now (140 days after RRP) zero pads! Just in time for deer camp. Still zero erections, but I'm workin' on it....
I DID buy the beer, but y'all weren't here so I drank it all myself. Sorry....
So, is there a secret handshake someone needs to show me? RRP was June 21 and today was my first PSA since. Doc said it is "undetectable."...
Golly I hope so! Unless you went with the lowest bidder, then you might start to wonder. Anyhow, it's a little late to do anything about it now!...
Make sure you know exactly what your insurance will and will not pay. Then find out exactly how much your doctor will charge. My doctor was out of network, but the insurance paid EVERYTHING but his...
AFTER I drink it, I don't care if it's deductible or not -- Pete...
It struck me funny to hear the people quitting because the price went up to nearly ten dollars. I quit when I got out of the army in 1969 because the price went up from eleven cents in the PX to...
There is a lot written, both here and elsewhere on the web, about all the various treatment options. Your uro should know the things you need to know and will probably answer all your questions...
I'm not all that happy with my GP (I'd rate him "adequate"), but he did the PSA tests and the DRE every year. He sent me to the uro for a check when my PSA numbers started looking bad. The GP said if...
At this point my "gun" is an oozie. But it's getting better every day....
Well, I went to the dentist, and I didn't say anything about my cancer. They cleaned my teeth, and didn't take x-rays, and I didn't pee on their chair, and nobody had to call any paramedics. So all...
Yeah, I have heard of Marovich, but that's not where I'm coming from. I like to hunt, and I'm too lazy to tote around a long gun; also, Pete is part of my name. I actually don't much care for...
It's time for my 6-month cleaning, and the dentist (female) always asks if there's been any change in my health since last time. Well, yeah, I've had my prostate removed; I am incontinent; and I am...
My Mom (96 yrs old) has been suffering from fairly severe dementia for almost a year. Before that she had been declining somewhat, but it seems to have gotten pretty severe pretty quickly. Her doctor...
What's right for you and your family might not be right for me and mine. And what's "right" may not be what actually works. It's a tough decision, to put Mom in a facility or not, and whatever you...
