As of today, I’m 28 pounds less than I was when I first went to their office!
I’m really thrilled to death with both the doctor and the CDE. We did have an interesting conversation, because the doctor didn’t want me to waste my money on the Glucowatch, but they both decided — like I did — if anyone on the planet can get it to work, I can, and because I’ve done so well with everything else, we might as well give it a shot.
Believe me, I’ll hammer the Glucowatch people with tech support requests. More on that, next.
Anyway, the CDE and I had an interesting conversation — I’m one of her very few Type 2’s on a pump (I might be the only one), and she’s not sure if she would put me on the pump if I was a new patient. She acknowledged she would have to work with me for a while.
I also admitted I wasn’t as anal about numbers until the pump — but why be, if you aren’t influencing the numbers by your behavior?
We also agreed that I will see her after I see my sleep doctor and that if he has anything negative to say about my part of my care, I’m walking out of the office!
