A bill passed the Texas State Legislature that is supposed to address the insurance issue. The good news, is that changes won\u2019t come in effect until January 1. We are supposed to get free generic prescriptions \u2013 everything is currently generic except insulin.<\/p>\n
Back in April, when I was at the Shreveport dog shows, I received a letter telling me that my new diabetes doctor was going out of business the Friday before my next appointment. They said in the meantime see your primary care physician.<\/p>\n
Shortly after that appointment was scheduled I received an email that they were opening a new office on June 1. I haven\u2019t heard anything since.<\/p>\n
Went through my meds last week, packaging them using PillSuite, and discovered not only was out almost out of my cholesterol medication but that there were no refills. Makes sense, we were supposed to relook all that at the appointment. So I did what they said and made an appointment with my primary care physician.<\/p>\n
Saw him yesterday. I went off of statin drugs last year due to statin pain \u2013 may still have some vestiges of that \u2013 but my labs have slowly been drifting up. So he added generic Crestor, lowest dose. He also said that he was cool with writing scripts for supplies, but couldn\u2019t help with pump dosages. I hope he asked his office assistant if she was cool with it, because he is often cool with something, but she isn\u2019t and it never gets to him.<\/p>\n
All good for the next three months. <\/p>\n
He did tell me that if Diabetes Center of America didn\u2019t reopen, that there were was an endochronolist office opening soon in their building.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
