At the request of my VA NP, I visited my local Dr,a week ago today, to update him on my DMII and the PN. He was pleased that I took the time to give him this info. We also talked about a continuing tremor evident in my hands and recent palpitations ( as I called them). He felt sure that the tremors were not Parkinsons. He had me hold my arms out, then touch each finger with the thumb of each hand and he remarked of some mild difficulty with this. In his notes that I obtained today he refers to "Dupuytren's contracture" in my rt hand. I looked this up on WebMD. I am interested in finding if this has anything to do with my DMII. The web site only discussed concerns with surgery for those with diabetes.
For the palpitations, I wore a Holter monitor starting the next day for 24 hrs. Of course that turned out to be a day that I had few events. The report said that everything was okay except that I have an occasional extra beat of the heart. I still have some concerns.
He had an A1c done the day of my visit and it was 6.2. He also noted that my average blood sugar was 132.
I would appreciate any thoughts anyone might have on this.
I am considering making an appt. with my VA provider to discuss this.
