I suspect sitting still for most of 4 days had something to do with it — we’ve been TAKS testing (state mandated tests) — but the edema is back and back in full force to the point my shoes are hurting in the evening.<\/p>\n
I asked the fitness4diabetics wellness coach about trying it again — I’d done what the cardiologist nurse said to do, which was to be on it for a wekk — though I quit after 5 days when the blood sugar shot up. She asked if it was a comfort issue or a health issue and I think it’s a bit of both. Here’s why.<\/p>\n
I took a Lasix yesterday morning after weighing myself. In 24 hours I lost 2 pounds! Surely lugging around two extra pounds of water weight isn’t good healthwise.<\/p>\n
The good news is my blood sugar was 101 this morning so I didn’t get the blood sugar effects — yet.<\/p>\n
As to the weight thing — since I started and weighed for fitness4diabetics at the end of my last lasix experiment, I’ve lost 5 pounds not just 3. That might be magical thinking and the 2 pounds will probably be back by the end of the week, but it helps.<\/p>\n
It will be interesting to see what does happen to the weight — and as tempting as it is, I’m NOT taking another one until next Saturday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
