Hello Roy - 

--8<--cut 

CA>> btw: My brother insisted I let him poke my finger a few
CA>> days ago. He is a diabetic after his heart surgery. The
CA>> medication for thinning the blood seems to always push
CA>> people into diabetes? 

RJT> We have one family member here who has both high blood
RJT> pressure and diabetes. She's convinced that it was the
RJT> beta blockers that pushed things in that direction, for
RJT> whatever that's worth... 

Mine is just a casual observation of over one-half century
watching as each person put on blood thinners suddenly
'discovers' they are a diabetic within a short time following
the blood thinner medication. 

CA>> Anyhow I had just finished a can of Cola (no breakfast)
CA>> and it came up 115. He said it can go to 140 and still be
CA>> OK. 

RJT> Seems to me that it's still something worth keeping an eye
RJT> on. You mentioned difficulties with your eyesight? That's
RJT> one symptom. 

You are definitely correct and I am 'watching' those symptoms.
Another observation of my half-century the coloring of the eye
begins to soften if diabetes is affecting the eyes. I force
myself to look in the mirror even when not shaving. :-) 

As I have mentioned, I used to work very long hours. While
working over 3000 hours per year there were some several weeks
in a row that I would work 80-100 hours per week. Naturally I
drank an above average amount of coffee in those years to
remain conscious. I also smoked more, in part due to the
coffee, and both caffeine and nicotine eventually harden the
lens of the eye. Old(er) age doesn't help much. :-\
