Dr. visit this morning. It will not go well; I have a feeling he's going to increase my meds cuz my numbers won't come down.

of course if i did the stuff I'm supposed to this wouldn't be the case.

Gotta do all the things, Dede

Yeah I know it's tough but do try, we want you to be as healthy as possible.

Vin : Deadrella : I know. I'm so weak willed.

I totally get how difficult it is, struggling with my own need to pursue a healthier lifestyle.

Yep, I don't have a whole lot of willpower on some things. It's not easy

Dede sometimes your body doesn't respond to certain medications. It's possible that oral medications are not the answer for you. There are so many therapies. However saying this I know how difficult it is to

make the changes and stick to them. hugs you tightly.

Has to do incremental increases to the lantus mess

Dede my doctor and I switched my Lantus from all overnight to half morning half at bed time. I spike in the early hours of the morning but

but also need more help through the day

yeah worth looking into your daily routine as well for sure. I know you're up really early usually Dede. So maybe the timing of your medication needs to be adjusted accordingly? just a thought.

MaryTeodosio : I spike after lunch regardless of what I eat. Celery stick or steak. I also don't eat right. He's trying to get me to be at normal in the mornings. I am between 150 -180 all the time in the AM

Vin : yah i need better care and guidance. this guy really isn't in the bedside manner/caring/how can i help model of dr.s

maybe you should consider seeing a dietician specialised in diabetes?

dede is he a general practitioner? Is there an endocrinologist in town? You should seek out a specialist even if it is in another town

MaryTeodosio : he is an endocrinologist. he's just not a warm fuzzy type

they usually aren't. Is he the only one in town? Try a woman, although they can be hard asses too. Look for a younger woman specialist. Might be a better more productive experience.
