Evenly distributed, although my watch band was a bit tighter this morning at the usual notch.
I take 17 different prescriptions, many fighting the side effects of the side effects of the diuretics that are keeping me alive. Once I am stable again, I plan to try reducing the diuretic doses and see if I can find a better balance that stops the diabetes and still keeps the water out.
One of the side effects of the diuretics is chronic constipation. My intestines even laughed at a colonoscopy prep kit! I told two different doctors that Mounjaro and family probably wouldn't do anything for my diabetes, because they supposedly work by slowing the digestive tract down and I don't need any more help with that. The Mounjaro diarrhea was actually a blessing at first, because it cleaned out the concrete packing my intestines.....
