Met The Endocrinologist

Tweet

So, today was my appointment with the Endocrinologist. Had to drive almost an hour away since that is where the closest one is. It had snowed over night so didn't know if we would be able to make the trip - but the main roads were fine. Anyways - about the visit. The endocrinologist was really nice, kind of funny too. He asked about my history with diabetes....what led to being hospitalized, and so on. He says my case is not a typical one for sure. He did check a C-Peptide to see if I am making much insulin. When they post the results I will share. What I do know is they stuck me 4 times to try to get one blood test! Here they don't have as much trouble, lol. The doctor is going to try to help me get a CGM too - even if it is just the kind that you scan whenever you want to check it is fine with me. I am just tired of sticking my fingers with needles every day. I go back to see him in a month....if I continue to do good he'll go to three months, and then six months. I plan to stick to low carb, except the occasional cheat meal/day. Yes, I did have a cheat meal today after the appointment...but will be back on low carb/keto tomorrow.
