GFR down from 58 to 43.8 over 3 years

Hi,
I'm guessing the enlarged heart is from 30 plus years of pumping high BP.
I had to ask for insulin as nothing else worked for me, but am restricted to the finger prick for testing by cost. My diabetic nurse had the cure, stop testing and I wouldn't be concerned! Not seen her since and refuse to listen to her.
I would hope that taking care of other health issues would slow the progress but with the bowel, bladder and digestion out of my control now, I'm opting to withdraw all medication so nature can get on and finish the job.
I have suspected for a while that dysautonomia has been interfering with my glucose levels but have yet to find the connection.
Cheers

@cheyne you seem either fatalistic or accepting but if you want to address the high blood sugars, you might want to try a different endocrinologist. You could see about a pump and/or CGM. To maintain control with GI issues , in our experience, finger sticks have to be done 15=20 times/day so the technology is a godsend.
