m a 25 year diabetic whose blood sugars are fairly normal (no insulin requried at present). I lost a total of 80 pounds last year. Within the last 4 weeks, I have gained 45 lbs with no change in diet. My upper & lower legs and feet are extremely swollen, as is my upper stomach and upper arms. A short blood test at my physician s office measured my average blood sugars at 155. I have recently had cataract surgery, after which I experiened 2 episodes (1 week post surgery and one 1 1/2 weeks post surgery), in which I blacked out,felt in a tunnel, confusion, off balance, slurred my speech & stuttered, and experienced jerking in my hands, arms and legs. After each episode, my blood sugar was tested and once was 50...the other 131. Needless to say, both my doctor and myself are completely at confused. He has ordered further tests, but I would like another opion. Thank you. *** I am sorry, I was unaware there was a charge for this service. I am on medicare and a limited income. I ll withdraw my question and just wait for my physician to answer. He accepts medicare. Thank you.
