FYI: I think every diabetic should see an endocronologist. Lots of reasons. First, they know the state of the art in diabetes care. Second, they deal with a lot of patients, you won’t be unique. But the last and most important reason is “free stuff”.
I left my endo’s office with a new Freestyle meter. I don’t really need another one, I carry one and keep one on my desk. I’ll replace the oldest of the two with this new one, and then stash the new one somewhere, probably my classroom.
I’ve paid for 1 meter, and got the money back from that one too.
Anyway, numbers are good. A1C of 6.5 — my best was 6.2. Fasting blood sugar was 105, kidneys are good, cholesterol 121, triglycerides 78, HDL 45, LDL is 60.
I’m going to start taking the Symlin a bit before meals and see if it helps my blood sugar. It is still higher than I like postprandial.
