I just got done at the doctor’s office.
My doctor started the appointment by saying I will have to see a Diabetic educator which will be scheduled at a later date. He then told me he was going to put me on Metformin with me taking one pill a day first week, 2 a day second week, 3 a day third week and all subsequent weeks.
I asked him again what the test results were because the nurse told me and I forgot.
He said my blood sugar was 271 instead of 100. He also said my A1C was 10.7. I told him since I was diagnosed Monday, I’ve had no sweets or sugary drinks.
Doctor told me to come back 3 months to do some more blood work. I asked about glucometer and strips and he told me he’d be happy to prescribe them to me. I also asked about a c peptide test and the doctor told me I didn’t need one. Told me I wasn’t lacking insulin. Lastly, I asked about an injection of Ozempic once a week and he told me I only needed it if I thought I needed it.
Overall, the visit went good. I feel better than I did on Monday when I first got diagnosed. Here’s hoping things work out and I can keep my diabetes under control.
