[Diabetes-Talk] An update on me.

[Alan Wheeler]

Hi everyone,

Well, after visiting the diabetes clinic, I am back on glipocide (sp?) which I used to take. I stopped it when they put me on the doxycycline for the infection in my left arm. 
I had to do some trouble shooting on my glucometer after comparing a blood sugar reading from it to one from the meter at the clinic. My meters reading was much lower, but after calling Prodigy and troubleshooting, we found my meter is accurate. I also learned it is best to compare the reading to my A1C instead of a different glucometer. My a1C is 7, as I stated before, and I got a 154 reading from my meter, and a 308 from their meter. Needless to say that would indicate an 11 A1C, and I don't think I've shot that high since October 28th.

So, we'll see what happens when I am back on the second diabetes drug. That's where things stand for now. One more thing, the doctor I met with at the clinic is taking a long shot and trying to acquire a Freestyle Libre for me. We both know it probably won't happen. Unlike certain presidents, however, I can accept the outcome. Har har.

P.s: to remind folks I am type 2, that why I am not saying anything about insulin.
