I have Sleep Apnea (both obstructive and central -700-900 episodes a nite) 02/09. I use both an oxygenation(4.0) and bipap machine. 2 weeks ago I was diagnosed with T2 diabetes (taking Metformin 500mg 4 a day). I’m testing my glucose level several times a day to establish a pattern. I’m watching my diet, but my readings are all over the place, anywhere from 178 to HIGH (over 499). understandable since I am testing frequently; after waking, eating, before/after naps, before sleeping,etc. I use the ‘testing solution” occassionally to make sure I’m doing it correctly and to insure the strips and lancets are still OK. I should mention I also have very low testost (Androgel), chronic pain (arthritis & back pain (Oxycontin) acid reflux (Omeprazole) enlarged prostate (terazosin) severe (Suprise!) depression (Fluoxetine)ADHD (Adderall) to top it off – possible contact w/ “Agent Orange” insurance & VA BAD! HELP!!
I’m sorry – the above is soooo long – and now I’m adding to it! LOL – I forgot to mention, I’m a 61 year old male, 5’9″ and weigh 158 – so I’m not over weight.

Thanks for any help you are able to offer
Bob
