5567 steps yesterday.  I saw my cardiologist yesterday and the results from the ultrasound shows some plaque on my arteries that can be reducing blood flow and may be the cause for the problems I have been having.  He gave me a prescription that will improve the blood flow so it will be interesting to see if there is any difference.

I wonder if there is anything other than blood thinners that can be prescribed. It will also be interesting to note if they affect BG in any significant way?

4863 steps yesterday.  For some reason the muscles on the front of my thigh were sore, I think that is the Quadriceps, and it kept me from doing more than just getting in my hourly steps.  I have no idea what may have caused that, maybe the way I was walking the day before ?  Still a bit sore today but better.
The plaque in my leg arteries is not new and I had a problem with it over 5 years ago and at that time the cardiologist gave me a prescription that caused my heart rate to go quite high so I quit it.  It is called Intermittent claudication.  The prescription I have now may relieve the problem but it will probably take a bit to find out.  It actually states on the paperwork that comes with it that it may cause low blood sugar.  It is also to be taken with a low dose aspirin which I have been taking since my heart valve replacement.

8222 steps yesterday.  I actually could have walked more but I don't want to push it too soon.  It seems like the new prescription has helped.  I was able to walk a lot more steps before having to stop.  I still had soreness in my upper thigh muscles but it is not the same as the claudication I get in my calves.  It seems better today so we will see how it goes.

6265 steps yesterday.  I am still having soreness in my upper thigh and not sure where that comes from.  I am not sure how much difference the med. is making but I seem to be able to walk farther than before without needing to stop and rest.  I am going to try to get at least 500 steps each hour instead of 250 and that is what I did yesterday.
