hello istilllaugh, welcome to the forum, love the name! My word you have a lot going on, far too much, glad you are lucky. Sit down grab yourself a cuppa and join in the fun
Thanks Laura_dropstitch, or may I call you Laura. At times it’s seems a Laugh or die situation. (Big boys don’t cry, lol). Mind you I stopped being a ‘big boy’ in my distant youth. Thanks for the welcome.
Hi and welcome! You have quite a bit going on. My question is how long have you had diabetes and what Type, I or II? I celebrated being Type I for 50 years (the Golden Syringe award) by being diagnosed with (genetic) CVD. One less documented fact is that elevated and unstable BGs can affect all sorts of nerves including those that control BP and heart rhythms - so good control ofs vital. I also have a very restricted femoral artery in the left leg and additional restrictions further down - this condition is known as PAD (peripheral arterial disease). This was treated by angioplasty (no stents) about five years ago but has, sadly, reverted.
I am an engineer/physicist and like to understand the whys and wherefores. Although I now think I understand why arteries narrow - and it is IMHO more than just cholesterol and BP - I am unable to comment on your conditions but am sure other will.
