Well i went for my 2nd visit to see the Endo doc, first time i was seen by his nurse this time by the Doctor himself.He thinks im not making insulin and thats why im having the lows. He is having me not eat or drink anything than water for 36hrs and if my levels go under 50 i have to go straight in and have blood drawn.

Sending you some extra super strong "good luck" that your test goes well for you. I also hope it isn't to difficult for you to go 36 hours with no food, because that seems to be the most difficult part of the test at least to me. Do let us know what your results are, because we will be thinking of you while wondering how things went. Take care and have a super good day!

Julie,


I don't know what to say about that test. This is one of those times when you want to pull the covers over your head and sleep until you need to get up! I certainly don't envy you taking that test and I really hope all goes well. We will see if I am right about your being a type1 diabetic in the honeymoon period. I don't wish diabetes on anyone but knowing what is wrong is so much better than what you have been dealing with.


By the way, have you ready anything about the occurrance of diabetes in both adults in a family? For some unknown reason it occurs quite frequently.


I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you,

Mary Frances

The Endo doc wants me to start the test on Monday afternoon the reason is he said he wants my levels to get low. When and if they do i have to go straight to the lab and get blood drawn i guess he said he wants to check my hormones with the sugar levels. I guess the Endo doc i went to is supposed to be one of the best around so i guess we will see. No Mary fancies i have not heard about the couples thing but its funny you should say that yesterday in his office there were to other couples that both had appointments at the same time. Me and my hubbie are very in tune with each other so i believe that can happen. When i was prego my hubbie was the one that would wake up at night wanting root bear and ginger snaps and he also gained 30lbs so i guess anything is possible right. Well i will keep every one posted and hope to get result later next week.
