Well the results of my blood work are in at last from the endo doc. They said the A1c test “I think I got that right†shows a Dailey glucose level of 51.Remember I just had these same test done about a month ago and my family doctors nurse laughed at me telling me I was o.k. and was just looking for a problem.Im sure happy I kept on there butts to get me indo a specialist. The nurse at my doctor office even told me your see he will tell you your alright.Gosh I just want to rub it in her face that maybe she does not know everything, I knew there was something wrong but the hoops I had to go throw to prove it was stupid. The endo doc wants to see me September 13th to let me know what needs to be done. I have no idea what they are going to do to control it. Oh and back to my family doc after this and many other screw up the last couple of months his no longer my doctor……………I have a new one that my husband will be seeing for the first time tomorrow his also a diabetic himself so maybe he will be a little more understanding.Hubbie has been told he needs the insulin pump so I hope he will get a good result with the new doctor. Just thought I would give you all a update, but im still confused to why im having the very high 200’s

Julie,
You have been through such a nighmare. I hope the endo has a solution to your problems. With your hubby's diabetes getting so bad, why isn't he seeing the endo also? You raise so many questions about him in my mind. He hasn't even been started on insulin yet has he? I am not saying that he doesn't need insulin because he probably does. But he needs to know whether he can still manage his disease with medication, and I certainly hope he really doesn't have to go on a renal diabetic diet as that is a horrible eating plan. Does your hubby take his diabetes seriously or is he still bargaining with the disease. You guys have such young children I certainly hope he is taking it seriously.
Have a great week,

Glucose test was 51
Cortisol 28 They said thats high
And under "special Chemistry CPEP was 0.32
Well i have no idea what all this means but i said i would post what test i had done.
Julie,
Brian sounds like a good candidate for an endocrinologist to help manage his disease. I hope he can also see a dietitian for meal planning help. If your insurance covers it, and if you have any questions
I hope to get s good idea to why im going into the high 200's i really thought this test was going to come back that my levels are high.The other day i got up before i had anything to eat or drink and i was at 222!
