I had my appointment today. No ice in Eastern Nebraska, just rain. Thank goodness!!

I met with 4 people, including the Diabetes Specialist. They didn’t put me on any medication yet, they want to see what diet and exercise can do. My next appointment is in 3 weeks. I am to keep my carbs to 130mg /day, with no more than 40g per meal.

My head is swimming with information. I have so much to think about……

Hi! I need some expert advice. The weather is getting really bad here. Freezing fog, freezing drizzle and for tomorrow..freezing rain. I am suppose to go to the Diabetes Center on Wednesday to get my meter, meet with the diabetes specialist and take a class. I can cancel that appt. and go on Friday and have a 1 hour one on one appt. with the diabetes specialist.

My question is, will this one on one appt. be enough to get me started or do I need the whole morning appointment with everyone???

Hello- I truly need some help. My Doctor’s case manager called me this afternoon and told me that my A1C number was 9.0 and that I am to go the the Diabetes Education Center at our Med Center next Wednesday. I asked lots of questions, but the case manager would only reply "all your questions will be answered by the Diabetes Specialist". That’s great, but I would like some answers NOW!!! Could someone please help me know what is next for me? I know 9 is a serious number, but how serious??? What do you think my treatment will be??? Any information anyone can give me would really help. Next Wednesday seems like YEARS away!!
